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 chief musician; set to Al Tashheth. A psalm of David. A michtam. Do you rulers speak righteousness? Do you judge uprightly, you people?
2 Non! Okontrè! Se move lide ase ki nan kè nou. N'ap plede fè mechanste nan tout peyi a.
No, you commit wickedness in your heart; you distribute violence throughout the land with your hands.
3 Malveyan yo pèvèti depi nan vant manman yo. Moun k'ap bay manti yo gen madichon depi yo fèt.
The wicked go astray even when they are in the womb; they go astray from birth, speaking lies.
4 Yo gen yon pwazon nan bouch yo, tankou pwazon sèpan. Yo pa pran priyè, yo tankou sèpan aspik,
Their poison is like a snake's poison; they are like a deaf adder that stops up its ears,
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.
that pays no attention to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful they are.
6 Bondye, tanpri, kase dan nan bouch yo! Kase kwòk dan jenn lyon yo, Seyè!
Break their teeth in their mouths, God; break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh.
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 runs off; when they shoot their arrows, let them be as though they had no points.
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 like a snail that melts and passes away, like the untimely-born child of a woman that never sees the sunlight.
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 thorn's burning heat, he will take them away with a whirlwind, the green thorns and the burning thorns 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 will rejoice when he sees God's vengeance; he will 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.
so that men will say, “Truly, there is a reward for the righteous person; truly there is a God who judges the earth.”
