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?
DO ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye 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 the violence of your hands in the earth.
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: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
4 Yo gen pwazon tankou pwazon sèpan. Kon vipè soud ki bouche zòrèy li,
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder 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 will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
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 great 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 waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
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.
As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may 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 your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
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!”
So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
