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?
“To the chief musician Al-tashcheth, by David, a Michtham.” Do you indeed, who are dumb, speak righteously? do ye judge in uprightness, O ye sons of men?
2 Non! Okontrè! Se move lide ase ki nan kè nou. N'ap plede fè mechanste nan tout peyi a.
Even in [your] heart ye work injustice: on the earth do ye weigh out 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 goodness] from the womb: those who speak lies go astray from their very birth.
4 Yo gen yon pwazon nan bouch yo, tankou pwazon sèpan. Yo pa pran priyè, yo tankou sèpan aspik,
They have poison like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder 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 will not hearken to the voice of conjurers, yea, that of the wisest of all charmers.
6 Bondye, tanpri, kase dan nan bouch yo! Kase kwòk dan jenn lyon yo, Seyè!
O God, break out their teeth in their mouth: the jaw-teeth of the young lions tear thou out, 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 [which] runneth off: when each one bendeth [his bow to shoot] his arrows, let them be as if cut in pieces.
8 Se pou yo fonn tankou mantèg nan solèy. Se pou yo pa janm wè solèy tankou tibebe ki fèt tou mouri.
As a snail which melteth, let him pass away; like the untimely birth of a woman which hath 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, will he take them away with a whirlwind, both the green and the burning.
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 will rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he will bathe his steps 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.
So that a man shall say, Verily fruit will come for the righteous: verily there is a God that judgeth on the earth.
