Psalms 58
1 To the Overseer. — 'Destroy not.' — A secret treasure, by David. Is it true, O dumb one, righteously ye speak? Uprightly ye judge, O sons of men?
Je, ninyi watawala mnaongea haki? Mnahukumu kwa haki, ninyi watu?
2 Even in heart ye work iniquities, In the land the violence of your hands ye ponder.
Hapana, mnafanya uovu mioyoni mwenu; munaeneza vurugu nchi yote kwa mikono yenu.
3 The wicked have been estranged from the womb, They have erred from the belly, speaking lies.
Waovu huenenda katika upotovu hata walipokuwa tumboni; wao wanaenenda katika upotovu tangu kuzaliwa, wakiongea uongo.
4 Their poison [is] as poison of a serpent, As a deaf asp shutting its ear,
Sumu yao ni kama sumu ya nyoka; wako kama fira kiziwi azibaye masikio yake,
5 Which hearkeneth not to the voice of whisperers, A charmer of charms most skilful.
ambaye hasikilizi sauti ya waganga, haijalishi ustadi walio nao.
6 O God, break their teeth in their mouth, The jaw-teeth of young lions break down, O Jehovah.
Vunja meno yao midomoni mwao, Mungu; uyatoe meno ya mwana simba, Yahwe.
7 They are melted as waters, They go up and down for themselves, His arrow proceedeth as they cut themselves off.
Wayeyuke kama maporomoko ya maji; wafyatuapo mishale yao, iwe kama haina ncha.
8 As a snail that melteth he goeth on, [As] an untimely birth of a woman, They have not seen the sun.
Wawe kama konokono ambaye huyeyuka na kutoweka, kama mtoto aliye zaliwa kabla ya wakati ambaye hakuona jua.
9 Before your pots discern the bramble, As well the raw as the heated He whirleth away.
Kabla ya vyungu vyenu kupata joto la kuungua kwa miiba, yeye ataviondosha kwa upepo mkali, miiba ya kijani yote na ile inayoungua.
10 The righteous rejoiceth that he hath seen vengeance, His steps he washeth in the blood of the wicked.
Mwenye haki atafurahia atakapoona kisasi cha Mungu; ataiosha miguu yake kwenye damu ya waovu,
11 And man saith: 'Surely fruit [is] for the righteous: Surely there is a God judging in the earth!'
hivyo watu watasema, “Hakika kuna tuzo kwa ajili ya mtu wenye haki; hakika kuna Mungu ahukumuye ulimwengu.”
