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?
Fún adarí orin. Tí ohùn “Má ṣe parun.” Ti Dafidi. Miktamu. Ẹ̀yin ha ń sọ òdodo nítòótọ́ ẹ̀yin ìjọ ènìyàn? Ǹjẹ́ ẹ̀yin ń ṣe ìdájọ́ tí ó ṣe títọ́ ẹ̀yìn ọmọ ènìyàn?
2 Even in heart ye work iniquities, In the land the violence of your hands ye ponder.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, nínú ọkàn yín ẹ̀yìn ń gbèrò àìṣòdodo, ọwọ́ yín sì tú ìwà ipá jáde ni ayé.
3 The wicked have been estranged from the womb, They have erred from the belly, speaking lies.
Ní inú ìyá wọn wá ni ènìyàn búburú tí ṣìnà, lójúkan náà tí a ti bí wọn, wọn a máa ṣèké.
4 Their poison [is] as poison of a serpent, As a deaf asp shutting its ear,
Oró wọn dàbí oró ejò, wọn dàbí adití ejò paramọ́lẹ̀ tí ó di ara rẹ̀ ni etí,
5 Which hearkeneth not to the voice of whisperers, A charmer of charms most skilful.
tí kò ní gbọ́ ìpè àwọn atunilójú, bí ó ti wù kí ó máa fi ọgbọ́n ṣe ìtujú tó.
6 O God, break their teeth in their mouth, The jaw-teeth of young lions break down, O Jehovah.
Ká eyín ẹnu wọn, Ọlọ́run; ní ẹnu wọn, ká ọ̀gàn àwọn ọmọ kìnnìún, Olúwa.
7 They are melted as waters, They go up and down for themselves, His arrow proceedeth as they cut themselves off.
Jẹ́ kí wọn parẹ́ bí omi tó ń sàn lọ; nígbà tí ó bá fa ọfà rẹ̀, kí ọ̀kọ̀ wọn kí ó ṣẹ́.
8 As a snail that melteth he goeth on, [As] an untimely birth of a woman, They have not seen the sun.
Jẹ́ kí wọn rí bí ìgbín tí rẹ̀ dànù tí ó sì ṣègbé bí ọmọ tí oṣù rẹ̀ kò pé, kí wọn má ṣe rí oòrùn.
9 Before your pots discern the bramble, As well the raw as the heated He whirleth away.
Kí ìkòkò yín kí ó tó mọ ìgbóná ẹ̀gún; bóyá ní tútù tàbí ní gbígbẹ, yóò fi ìjì gbá wọn lọ.
10 The righteous rejoiceth that he hath seen vengeance, His steps he washeth in the blood of the wicked.
Olódodo yóò yọ̀ nígbà a bá ń gbẹ̀san wọn, nígbà tí wọn bá wẹ ẹsẹ̀ wọn nínú ẹ̀jẹ̀ ènìyàn búburú.
11 And man saith: 'Surely fruit [is] for the righteous: Surely there is a God judging in the earth!'
Àwọn ènìyàn yóò wí pé, “Lóòtítọ́ èrè àwọn ń bẹ fún olódodo; lóòtítọ́ òun ni Ọlọ́run tí ń ṣe ìdájọ́ ní ayé.”
