Sòm 58
1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se pou yo chante sou lè chante ki di: Pa detwi. Se yon chante David. Nou menm ki reprezante Bondye, èske nou rann jistis la tout bon vre? Nou menm lèzòm, èske nou jije san patipri?
For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam. Do ye indeed speak as a righteous company? Do ye judge with equity the sons of men?
2 Non! Okontrè! Se move lide ase ki nan kè nou. N'ap plede fè mechanste nan tout peyi a.
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out in the earth the violence of your hands.
3 Malveyan yo pèvèti depi nan vant manman yo. Moun k'ap bay manti yo gen madichon depi yo fèt.
The wicked are estranged from the womb; the speakers of lies go astray as soon as they are born.
4 Yo gen yon pwazon nan bouch yo, tankou pwazon sèpan. Yo pa pran priyè, yo tankou sèpan aspik,
Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; they are like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ear;
5 ki fèmen zòrèy yo pou yo pa tande vwa moun k'ap chante pou fè yo dòmi, menm lè moun yo gen bèl bèl vwa.
Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, or of the most cunning binder of spells.
6 Bondye, tanpri, kase dan nan bouch yo! Kase kwòk dan jenn lyon yo, Seyè!
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth; break out the cheek-teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
7 Se pou yo disparèt tankou dlo lavalas k'ap koule desann. Se pou moun kraze yo anba pye tankou zèb sou granchemen.
Let them melt away as water that runneth apace; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.
8 Se pou yo fonn tankou mantèg nan solèy. Se pou yo pa janm wè solèy tankou tibebe ki fèt tou mouri.
Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away; like the untimely births of a woman, that have not seen the sun.
9 Anvan menm yo konnen sa k'ap rive yo, se pou yo boule tankou raje. Bondye ap fè kòlè, l'ap rache yo pandan yo tou vivan.
Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will sweep it away with a whirlwind, the raw and the burning alike.
10 Moun ki mache dwat devan Bondye gen pou yo kontan lè yo wè jan yo pini mechan yo. Y'a lave pye yo nan san mechan yo.
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 Lè sa a, moun va di: -Wi, sa vo lapenn pou moun mache dwat devan Bondye. Wi, gen yon Bondye k'ap jije moun sou latè.
And men shall say: 'Verily there is a reward for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.'
