Psalmi 58
1 Dāvida sirds dziesma. Dziedātāju vadonim, pēc: „nesamaitā.“Vai tad jūs esat mēmi, ka nerunājat taisnību un nepareizi tiesājat, jūs cilvēku bērni?
To the Chief Musician. "Do not Destroy." A precious Psalm, of David. Are ye, indeed, silent [when] righteousness, ye should speak? When, with equity, ye should judge, O ye sons of men?
2 Tiešām, savā sirdī jūs darāt netaisnību virs zemes, ar savām rokām jūs dzenaties uz varas darbu.
Aye! ye all do work, perversity, —Throughout the land, your hands, weigh out, violence!
3 Bezdievīgie maldās no mātes klēpja, kas melus runā, alojās no pašām mātes miesām.
Lawless men have been estranged from birth, They have gone astray from their nativity, speaking falsehood;
4 Tiem ir tāds niknums kā čūsku dzelonis, kā kurlai odzei, kas savu ausi aizbāž,
Their poison, is like unto the poison of a serpent, Like the deaf adder, that stoppeth his ear;
5 Ka tā nedzird vārdotāja balsi, kas labi māk apvārdot.
That will not hearken to the voice of whisperers, Though the wise one try to bind him with spells.
6 Ak Dievs, salauzi viņiem zobus mutē, ak Kungs, izrauj jauno lauvu dzerokļus!
O God! break away their teeth in their mouth, The biters of the young lions, knock thou out, O Yahweh!
7 Lai tie izšķīst kā ūdens, kas notek; kad tie uzvelk savas bultas, tad lai tās ir kā aplauztas,
Let such men flow away like waters that disperse themselves: He prepareth his arrow, Like [grass] let them be cut down:
8 Tā kā gliemezis, kas izkūst, tā lai tie izgaist tā kā sievas nelaikā dzimis bērns, tā lai tie neredz saules.
Like a snail, which melteth away as it goeth, An untimely birth of a woman, which hath not seen the sun:
9 Pirms jūsu ērkšķi dabūs asus galus, viņš tos aizraus dzīvus, kā ar karstu dusmību.
Before your kettles can perceive the [kindled] bramble, Be he green or be he withered, he shall be swept away.
10 Tas taisnais priecāsies, kad viņš redz atriebšanu, viņš mazgās savas kājas bezdievīgo asinīs.
The righteous man will rejoice when he hath seen an avenging, His feet, will he bathe in the blood of the lawless one: —
11 Un cilvēki sacīs: tam taisnam būs augļi; tiešām, Dievs ir soģis virs zemes.
So that a son of earth may say—Surely there is fruit for the righteous man! Surely there are gods who judge in the earth!
