< 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?
Unto the end. May you not destroy. Of David, with the inscription of a title. If, truly and certainly, you speak justice, then judge what is right, you sons of men.
2 Mo, kowos nunku na ke ma koluk kowos in oru, Ac orekma sulallal fin acn uh.
For, even in your heart, you work iniquity. Your hands construct injustice on the earth.
3 Mwet koluk elos oru ma sufal in moul lalos nufon; Elos nuna kikiap oe ke elos isusla ah.
Sinners have become foreigners from the womb; they have gone astray from conception. They have been speaking falsehoods.
4 Elos nwanala ke pwasin, oana wet uh; Elos fonosya insraclos in sulohngkas oana wet cobra
Their fury is similar to that of a serpent; it is like a deaf asp, who even blocks her ears,
5 Su tia lohng pusren on lun mwet akmunayalos, Ku pusren pas lun mwet orek mwenmen.
who will not listen to the voice of charmers, nor even to the enchanter who chants wisely.
6 O God, kotalik wihsen lion sulallal inge.
God will crush their teeth within their own mouth. The Lord will break the molars 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 will come to nothing, like water flowing away. He has aimed his bow, while they are being weakened.
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 wax that flows, they will be carried away. Fire has fallen upon them, and they will not 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 thorns could know the brier, he consumes them alive, as if in rage.
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 just one will rejoice when he sees vindication. He will 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 man will say, “If the just one is fruitful, then, truly, there is a God judging them on earth.”
