Psalms 58
1 To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David. Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
Ki he Takimuʻa, ʻAli-Tasikiti, ko e Saame mahuʻinga ʻa Tevita. ʻAe fakataha, ʻoku moʻoni ʻa hoʻomou lea māʻoniʻoni ʻakimoutolu? ʻAe ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata, ʻoku mou fakamaau totonu koā?
2 Yes, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
ʻIo, ʻoku mou fai kovi ʻi loto; ʻoku mou fakamamafa ʻae kovi ʻo homou nima ʻi māmani.
3 The wicked are estranged from their birth: they go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
Talu ʻae māvae ʻae angakovi mo e manāva mo ʻenau hē: ʻoku nau ʻalu hē leva talu ʻenau fanauʻi, ʻi he lea loi.
4 Their poison [is] like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder [that] stoppeth her ear;
Ko honau kona ʻoku hangē ko e kona ʻoe ngata: ʻoku nau tatau mo e ngata tuli ʻoku ne tāpuni hono telinga;
5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
ʻAia ʻe ʻikai tokanga ki he leʻo ʻoe kau fakafiemālie, neongo ʻae poto lahi ʻoe tangata faiva.
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke sili honau kau nifo ʻi honau ngutu: ʻE Sihova, pakiʻi ʻo toʻo kituʻa ʻae kau nifo lahi ʻoe fanga laione mui.
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.
Tuku ke vela ʻo vai ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e vai ʻoku tafe maʻuaipē: ʻoka teteke ʻe ia ʻene kau fana ke fana ʻaki ʻene ngaahi ngahau, tuku ke tuʻutuʻu ʻakinautolu.
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.
Ke mole ʻo ʻosi ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e sineli: tuku ke nau hangē ko e tama taʻehoko ʻae fefine, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa nau mamata ki he laʻā.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in [his] wrath.
ʻI he teʻeki vela ki hoʻomou kulo ʻae okooko ʻakau talatala, ʻe ʻosi ʻene ʻave moʻui ʻakinautolu ʻi hono houhau, ʻo hangē ko e ʻahiohio.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
ʻE fiefia ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻi heʻene mamata ki he totongi: ʻe fufulu ʻe ia hono vaʻe ʻi he toto ʻoe angakovi.
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.
Ko ia ʻe pehē ai ʻe he tangata, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ai ʻae totongi ki he māʻoniʻoni: ko e moʻoni ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoku fakamaau ʻi māmani.”
