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?
When you mighty men speak, you never say what is right; you never decide things about people justly [RHQ]!
2 Mo, kowos nunku na ke ma koluk kowos in oru, Ac orekma sulallal fin acn uh.
No, in your inner beings you think only about doing what is wrong, and you commit violent crimes in this land [of Israel].
3 Mwet koluk elos oru ma sufal in moul lalos nufon; Elos nuna kikiap oe ke elos isusla ah.
Wicked people do wrong things and tell lies from the time that they are born [DOU].
4 Elos nwanala ke pwasin, oana wet uh; Elos fonosya insraclos in sulohngkas oana wet cobra
God, show in the heavens how great you are! And show your glory to people all over the earth! What wicked people say [injures people like] the venom of a snake [MET]; They refuse to listen to good advice, [as though they were] cobras that were deaf [MET]!
5 Su tia lohng pusren on lun mwet akmunayalos, Ku pusren pas lun mwet orek mwenmen.
As a result, [like a snake that does not respond when] a charmer plays a flute or when someone sings magic songs, [they do not pay attention when others rebuke them].
6 O God, kotalik wihsen lion sulallal inge.
God, as for these enemies who [want to attack me like] young lions, break their teeth!
7 Finsrak tuh elos in wanginla oana kof ma sororla nwe wanginla; Lela tuh elos in itungyuki oana mah su oan inkanek uh.
Cause them to disappear like water disappears [in dry ground]! Cause the arrows that they shoot to have no (heads/sharp points)!
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.
Cause them to become like snails that disappear in the slime; cause them to be like babies that are born dead!
9 Meet liki elos esmakla, in pakpukla elos oana mah pilasr; Elos in srakna moul A God Elan okulosla in kasrkusrak lal.
Get rid of them [as fast as] thornbushes are blown away [after they are cut] (OR, [as fast as] a fire heats a pot over burning thorns).
10 Mwet suwoswos elos ac fah engan ke elos liye lah kaiyuk mwet koluk uh; Elos ac fah fahsr sasla in srahn mwet koluk.
Righteous people will rejoice when they see wicked people being punished as they deserve; they will wash their feet in the blood of wicked people.
11 Ouinge mwet elos fah fahk, “Mwet suwoswos elos eis lacnen orekma wo lalos; Pwayena lah oasr God se nununku faclu.”
[Then] people will say, “It is true that there is a reward for righteous people; and there is indeed a God who judges people justly here on the earth!”
