Psalm 58
1 [Psalm lal David] Kowos leum lun faclu, ya oasr pacl kowos oru nununku suwohs? Ya kowos oru nununku lowos fal nu sin mwet nukewa?
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David. Do you indeed speak justly, O rulers? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?
2 Mo, kowos nunku na ke ma koluk kowos in oru, Ac orekma sulallal fin acn uh.
No, in your hearts you devise injustice; with your hands you mete out violence on the earth.
3 Mwet koluk elos oru ma sufal in moul lalos nufon; Elos nuna kikiap oe ke elos isusla ah.
The wicked are estranged from the womb; the liars go astray from birth.
4 Elos nwanala ke pwasin, oana wet uh; Elos fonosya insraclos in sulohngkas oana wet cobra
Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like a cobra that shuts its ears,
5 Su tia lohng pusren on lun mwet akmunayalos, Ku pusren pas lun mwet orek mwenmen.
refusing to hear the tune of the charmer who skillfully weaves his spell.
6 O God, kotalik wihsen lion sulallal inge.
O God, shatter their teeth in their mouths; O LORD, tear out the fangs of the lions.
7 Finsrak tuh elos in wanginla oana kof ma sororla nwe wanginla; Lela tuh elos in itungyuki oana mah su oan inkanek uh.
May they vanish like water that runs off; when they draw the bow, may their arrows be blunted.
8 Lela elos in oana ful finmes uh ma ekla nu ke ma fulful ke ac misa; Lela tuh elos in oana sie tulik fusr su isusla ke pacl sufal la ac misa ac tiana liye kalem uh.
Like a slug that dissolves in its slime, like a woman’s stillborn child, may they never see the sun.
9 Meet liki elos esmakla, in pakpukla elos oana mah pilasr; Elos in srakna moul A God Elan okulosla in kasrkusrak lal.
Before your pots can feel the burning thorns— whether green or dry— He will sweep them away.
10 Mwet suwoswos elos ac fah engan ke elos liye lah kaiyuk mwet koluk uh; Elos ac fah fahsr sasla in srahn mwet koluk.
The righteous will rejoice when they see they are avenged; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 Ouinge mwet elos fah fahk, “Mwet suwoswos elos eis lacnen orekma wo lalos; Pwayena lah oasr God se nununku faclu.”
Then men will say, “There is surely a reward for the righteous! There is surely a God who judges the earth!”
