Sòm 58
1 Pou direktè koral la; Nan melodi la “Pa Detwi”. Yon Sòm David Vrèman, èske nou pale ladwati, O lòt dye yo? Èske nou jije san fòt, O fis a lòm yo?
To the chief music-maker; put to Al-tashheth. Michtam. Of David. Is there righteousness in your mouths, O you gods? are you upright judges, O you sons of men?
2 Non, nan kè, nou fòmante inikite. Sou latè, nou peze balans pou separe bay vyolans ak men nou.
The purposes of your hearts are evil; your hands are full of cruel doings on the earth.
3 Mechan yo pèvès depi nan vant. (Sila) ki bay manti yo fè move wout depi nesans yo.
The evil-doers are strange from the first; from the hour of their birth they go out of the true way, saying false words.
4 Yo gen pwazon tankou pwazon sèpan. Kon vipè soud ki bouche zòrèy li,
Their poison is like the poison of a snake; they are like the adder, whose ears are shut;
5 pou li pa tande vwa a (sila) k ap chame li yo, malgre se yon majisyen abil k ap fè wanga.
Who will not be moved by the voice of the wonder-worker, however great are his powers.
6 O Bondye, kraze dan nan bouch yo! Kase gwo dan a jenn lyon an, O SENYÈ.
O God, let their teeth be broken in their mouths; let the great teeth of the young lions be pulled out, O Lord.
7 Kite yo koule disparèt tankou dlo k ap kouri sou tè. Lè flèch li yo parèt, kite yo fèt tankou shaf san tèt.
Let them be turned to liquid like the ever-flowing waters; let them be cut off like the grass by the way.
8 Kite yo tankou kalmason ki fonn, ki vin disparèt pandan l ap mache, tankou avòtman a yon fanm ki p ap janm wè solèy la.
Let them be like an after-birth which is turned to water and comes to an end; like the fruit of a woman who gives birth before her time, let them not see the sun.
9 Avan chodyè ou yo kab santi dife pikan yo, Li va bale yo fè yo disparèt nan van toubiyon; vèt ak (sila) kap brile yo, ansanm.
Before they are conscious of it, let them be cut down like thorns; let a strong wind take them away like waste growth.
10 Moun ladwati a va rejwi lè l wè vanjans lan. Li va lave pye li nan san a mechan yo,
The upright man will be glad when he sees their punishment; his feet will be washed in the blood of the evil-doer.
11 pou moun yo di: “Anverite, gen yon rekonpans pou moun ladwati yo. Anverite, genyen yon Bondye k ap jije latè!”
So that men will say, Truly there is a reward for righteousness; truly there is a God who is judge on the earth.
