Salamo 58
1 Ho an’ ny mpiventy hira. Al-tasheth. Miktama nataon’ i Davida. Moa ny tsi-fitenenana va ataonareo ho filazana ny marina? Mitsara mahitsy va ianareo, ry zanak’ olombelona?
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 Tsy izany, fa ny fonareo no amoronanareo ny ratsy; mandanja ny fandozan’ ny tananareo etỳ an-tany ianareo.
No, in your hearts you devise injustice; with your hands you mete out violence on the earth.
3 Mivily hatrany am-bohoka ny ratsy fanahy; mania hatrany an-kibo izy ka miteny lainga.
The wicked are estranged from the womb; the liars go astray from birth.
4 Misy poizina tahaka ny an’ ny menarana aminy; eny, tahaka ny vipera marenina izay manentsin-tadiny izy,
Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like a cobra that shuts its ears,
5 Ka tsy mihaino ny feon’ ny mpanao ody, na dia izay mpahay ody indrindra aza.
refusing to hear the tune of the charmer who skillfully weaves his spell.
6 Andriamanitra ô, torotoroy ny nifiny eo am-bavany; omboty ny vazan’ ny liona tanora, Jehovah ô.
O God, shatter their teeth in their mouths; O LORD, tear out the fangs of the lions.
7 Aoka ho ritra tahaka ny ranotrambo izy; raha atraniny ny zana-tsipìkany, dia aoka ho tapa-doha ireny;
May they vanish like water that runs off; when they draw the bow, may their arrows be blunted.
8 Aoka ho tahaka ny lelosy izay mihalevona eny am-pandehanana izy; Aoka ho tahaka ny zaza-vakimanta izay tsy mahita masoandro izy.
Like a slug that dissolves in its slime, like a woman’s stillborn child, may they never see the sun.
9 Dieny tsy mbola mafanan’ ny afon-tsilo ny vilaninareo, aoka ho entin’ ny tafio-drivotra ireny, na ny lena na ny maina.
Before your pots can feel the burning thorns— whether green or dry— He will sweep them away.
10 Hifaly ny marina, raha mahita ny famaliana; hanasa ny tongony amin’ ny ran’ ny ratsy fanahy izy;
The righteous will rejoice when they see they are avenged; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 Dia hiteny ny olona ka hanao hoe: misy valiny tokoa ho an’ ny marina; misy tokoa Andriamanitra Izay mitsara etỳ ambonin’ ny tany.
Then men will say, “There is surely a reward for the righteous! There is surely a God who judges the earth!”
