Psalms 58
1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David. Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
Isibili likhuluma okulungileyo yini, babusi? Lehlulela ngokuqonda yini, madodana abantu?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
Yebo, enhliziyweni lenza okubi, lilinganisa udlakela lwezandla zenu emhlabeni.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
Ababi baba ngabemzini kusukela esiswini, bayaduha kusukela esizalweni, beqamba amanga.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
Ubuhlungu babo bunjengobuhlungu benyoka, banjengebululu elingezwayo, elivimba indlebe yalo,
5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
ukuze lingezwa ilizwi labalumbi abalumba amalumbo ngokuhlakanipha.
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
Nkulunkulu, yephula amazinyo abo emlonyeni wabo, uphohloze amazinyo emihlathi yamabhongo ezilwane, Nkosi.
7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
Kabancibilike njengamanzi agelezayo; nxa egobisa idandili lakhe ukutshoka umtshoko wakhe, babe njengabaqunywe iziqa.
8 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
Kahambe njengomnenke oncibilikayo; njengomphunzo owesifazana, kabangaliboni ilanga.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
Imbiza zenu zingakaluzwa ukhuni lwameva, uzabaphephula esiphephweni njengabaphilayo njengentukuthelweni.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
Olungileyo uzathokoza lapho ebona impindiselo, uzageza inyawo zakhe egazini lomubi.
11 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
Ukuze umuntu athi: Impela ukhona umvuzo wolungileyo; impela ukhona uNkulunkulu owahlulela emhlabeni.
