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?
“To the chief musician Al-tashcheth, by David, a Michtham.” Do you indeed, who are dumb, speak righteously? do ye judge in uprightness, O ye sons of men?
2 Tsy izany, fa ny fonareo no amoronanareo ny ratsy; mandanja ny fandozan’ ny tananareo etỳ an-tany ianareo.
Even in [your] heart ye work injustice: on the earth do ye weigh out the violence of your hands.
3 Mivily hatrany am-bohoka ny ratsy fanahy; mania hatrany an-kibo izy ka miteny lainga.
The wicked are estranged [from goodness] from the womb: those who speak lies go astray from their very birth.
4 Misy poizina tahaka ny an’ ny menarana aminy; eny, tahaka ny vipera marenina izay manentsin-tadiny izy,
They have poison 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 conjurers, yea, that of the wisest of all charmers.
6 Andriamanitra ô, torotoroy ny nifiny eo am-bavany; omboty ny vazan’ ny liona tanora, Jehovah ô.
O God, break out their teeth in their mouth: the jaw-teeth of the young lions tear thou out, O Lord.
7 Aoka ho ritra tahaka ny ranotrambo izy; raha atraniny ny zana-tsipìkany, dia aoka ho tapa-doha ireny;
Let them melt away as water [which] runneth off: when each one bendeth [his bow to shoot] his arrows, let them be as if 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 him pass away; like the untimely birth of a woman which hath not seen 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, will he take them away with a whirlwind, both the green and the burning.
10 Hifaly ny marina, raha mahita ny famaliana; hanasa ny tongony amin’ ny ran’ ny ratsy fanahy izy;
The righteous will rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he will bathe his steps 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 fruit will come for the righteous: verily there is a God that judgeth on the earth.
