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. Of David. A michtam. Do you speak what is right, you gods? With equity judge you your people?
2 Non, nan kè, nou fòmante inikite. Sou latè, nou peze balans pou separe bay vyolans ak men nou.
In the land you practise iniquity – all of you; violence do you dispense with your hands.
3 Mechan yo pèvès depi nan vant. (Sila) ki bay manti yo fè move wout depi nesans yo.
The wicked go astray from the womb liars take the wrong path from their birth.
4 Yo gen pwazon tankou pwazon sèpan. Kon vipè soud ki bouche zòrèy li,
Venom have they like the venom of snakes, they are like the deaf adder that stops her ears,
5 pou li pa tande vwa a (sila) k ap chame li yo, malgre se yon majisyen abil k ap fè wanga.
and refuses to listen to the voice of the charmer, or binder of spells, no matter how cunning.
6 O Bondye, kraze dan nan bouch yo! Kase gwo dan a jenn lyon an, O SENYÈ.
O God, break to pieces the teeth in their mouth, tear out the great teeth of the young lions, 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.
May they melt away like running water! Like tender grass, cut down may they be!
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.
Like the snail that dissolves on its crawling path, like the birth untimely which sees not the sunlight.
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.
Faster than a thorn-fire heats your pots, he will come with his tempest and sweep them away.
10 Moun ladwati a va rejwi lè l wè vanjans lan. Li va lave pye li nan san a mechan yo,
The sight of such vengeance will gladden the righteous; their feet they will wash 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!”
People will say, “Yes, the just are rewarded: yes, on the earth is a God who is Judge.”
