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?
Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
2 Tsy izany, fa ny fonareo no amoronanareo ny ratsy; mandanja ny fandozan’ ny tananareo etỳ an-tany ianareo.
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in 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: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
4 Misy poizina tahaka ny an’ ny menarana aminy; eny, tahaka ny vipera marenina izay manentsin-tadiny izy,
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
5 Ka tsy mihaino ny feon’ ny mpanao ody, na dia izay mpahay ody indrindra aza.
Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
6 Andriamanitra ô, torotoroy ny nifiny eo am-bavany; omboty ny vazan’ ny liona tanora, Jehovah ô.
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Yhwh.
7 Aoka ho ritra tahaka ny ranotrambo izy; raha atraniny ny zana-tsipìkany, dia aoka ho tapa-doha ireny;
Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
8 Aoka ho tahaka ny lelosy izay mihalevona eny am-pandehanana izy; Aoka ho tahaka ny zaza-vakimanta izay tsy mahita masoandro izy.
As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not 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 thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
10 Hifaly ny marina, raha mahita ny famaliana; hanasa ny tongony amin’ ny ran’ ny ratsy fanahy izy;
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his 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.
So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
