Ψαλμοί 58
1 «Εις τον πρώτον μουσικόν, επί Αλ-τασχέθ, Μικτάμ του Δαβίδ.» Αληθώς άρα λαλείτε δικαιοσύνην; κρίνετε μετ' ευθύτητος, υιοί των ανθρώπων;
When you mighty men speak, you never say what is right; you never decide things about people justly [RHQ]!
2 Μάλιστα εν τη καρδία εργάζεσθε αδικίας· διαμοιράζετε την αδικίαν των χειρών σας εν τη γη.
No, in your inner beings you think only about doing what is wrong, and you commit violent crimes in this land [of Israel].
3 Απεξενώθησαν οι ασεβείς εκ μήτρας· επλανήθησαν από κοιλίας οι λαλούντες ψεύδος.
Wicked people do wrong things and tell lies from the time that they are born [DOU].
4 Έχουσι φαρμάκιον ως το φαρμάκιον του όφεως· είναι όμοιοι με την κωφήν ασπίδα, ήτις φράττει τα ώτα αυτής·
God, show in the heavens how great you are! And show your glory to people all over the earth! What wicked people say [injures people like] the venom of a snake [MET]; They refuse to listen to good advice, [as though they were] cobras that were deaf [MET]!
5 ήτις δεν θέλει να ακούση την φωνήν των γοήτων, των γοητευόντων τόσον επιδεξίως.
As a result, [like a snake that does not respond when] a charmer plays a flute or when someone sings magic songs, [they do not pay attention when others rebuke them].
6 Θεέ, σύντριψον αυτών τους οδόντας εν τω στόματι αυτών· Κύριε, κατάθραυσον τους κυνόδοντας των λεόντων.
God, as for these enemies who [want to attack me like] young lions, break their teeth!
7 Ας διαλυθώσιν ως ύδωρ και ας ρεύσωσι· θέλει εκπέμψει τα βέλη αυτού, εωσού εξολοθρευθώσιν.
Cause them to disappear like water disappears [in dry ground]! Cause the arrows that they shoot to have no (heads/sharp points)!
8 Ως κοχλίας διαλυόμενος ας παρέλθωσιν· ως εξάμβλωμα γυναικός ας μη ίδωσι τον ήλιον.
Cause them to become like snails that disappear in the slime; cause them to be like babies that are born dead!
9 Πριν αυξηθώσιν αι άκανθαί σας, ώστε να γείνωσι ράμνοι, ζώντας ως εν οργή, θέλει αρπάσει αυτούς εν ανεμοστροβίλω.
Get rid of them [as fast as] thornbushes are blown away [after they are cut] (OR, [as fast as] a fire heats a pot over burning thorns).
10 Ο δίκαιος θέλει ευφρανθή, όταν ίδη την εκδίκησιν· τους πόδας αυτού θέλει νίψει εν τω αίματι του ασεβούς.
Righteous people will rejoice when they see wicked people being punished as they deserve; they will wash their feet in the blood of wicked people.
11 Και έκαστος θέλει λέγει, Επ' αληθείας είναι καρπός διά τον δίκαιον· επ' αληθείας είναι Θεός, κρίνων επί της γης.
[Then] people will say, “It is true that there is a reward for righteous people; and there is indeed a God who judges people justly here on the earth!”
