< 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 end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial. If you do indeed speak righteousness, [then] do you judge rightly, you sons of men.
2 Mo, kowos nunku na ke ma koluk kowos in oru, Ac orekma sulallal fin acn uh.
For you work iniquities in [your] hearts in the earth: your hands plot unrighteousness.
3 Mwet koluk elos oru ma sufal in moul lalos nufon; Elos nuna kikiap oe ke elos isusla ah.
Sinners have gone astray from the womb: they go astray from the belly: they speak lies.
4 Elos nwanala ke pwasin, oana wet uh; Elos fonosya insraclos in sulohngkas oana wet cobra
Their venom is like [that] of a serpent; as [that] of a deaf asp, and that stops her ears;
5 Su tia lohng pusren on lun mwet akmunayalos, Ku pusren pas lun mwet orek mwenmen.
which will not hear the voice of charmers, nor [heed] the charm prepared skilfully by the wise.
6 O God, kotalik wihsen lion sulallal inge.
God has crushed their teeth in their mouth: God has broken the cheek-teeth 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.
They shall utterly pass away like water running through: he shall bend his bow till they shall fail.
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.
They shall be destroyed as melted wax: the fire has fallen and they have not seen 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 thorns feel the white thorn, he shall swallow you up as living, as in his wrath.
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 shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance of the ungodly: he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
11 Ouinge mwet elos fah fahk, “Mwet suwoswos elos eis lacnen orekma wo lalos; Pwayena lah oasr God se nununku faclu.”
And a man shall say, Verily then there is a reward for the righteous: verily there is a God that judges them in the earth.
