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?
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, nan kè, nou fòmante inikite. Sou latè, nou peze balans pou separe bay vyolans ak men nou.
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out in the earth the violence of your hands.
3 Mechan yo pèvès depi nan vant. (Sila) ki bay manti yo fè move wout depi nesans yo.
The wicked are estranged from the womb; the speakers of lies go astray as soon as they are born.
4 Yo gen pwazon tankou pwazon sèpan. Kon vipè soud ki bouche zòrèy li,
Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; they are like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ear;
5 pou li pa tande vwa a (sila) k ap chame li yo, malgre se yon majisyen abil k ap fè wanga.
Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, or of the most cunning binder of spells.
6 O Bondye, kraze dan nan bouch yo! Kase gwo dan a jenn lyon an, O SENYÈ.
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth; break out the cheek-teeth of the young lions, 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 melt away as water that runneth apace; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.
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 as a snail which melteth and passeth away; like the untimely births of a woman, that have not seen 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 your pots can feel the thorns, He will sweep it away with a whirlwind, the raw and the burning alike.
10 Moun ladwati a va rejwi lè l wè vanjans lan. Li va lave pye li nan san a mechan yo,
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 pou moun yo di: “Anverite, gen yon rekonpans pou moun ladwati yo. Anverite, genyen yon Bondye k ap jije latè!”
And men shall say: 'Verily there is a reward for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.'
