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 OVERSEER. “DO NOT DESTROY.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Is it true, O silent one, that you speak righteously? 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.
Even in heart you work iniquities, In the land you ponder the violence of your hands.
3 Mivily hatrany am-bohoka ny ratsy fanahy; mania hatrany an-kibo izy ka miteny lainga.
The wicked have been estranged from the womb, They have erred from the belly, speaking lies.
4 Misy poizina tahaka ny an’ ny menarana aminy; eny, tahaka ny vipera marenina izay manentsin-tadiny izy,
Their poison [is] as poison of a serpent, As a deaf cobra shutting its ear,
5 Ka tsy mihaino ny feon’ ny mpanao ody, na dia izay mpahay ody indrindra aza.
Which does not listen to the voice of whisperers, A charmer of most skillful charms.
6 Andriamanitra ô, torotoroy ny nifiny eo am-bavany; omboty ny vazan’ ny liona tanora, Jehovah ô.
O God, break their teeth in their mouth, Break down the jaw-teeth of young lions, O YHWH.
7 Aoka ho ritra tahaka ny ranotrambo izy; raha atraniny ny zana-tsipìkany, dia aoka ho tapa-doha ireny;
They are melted as waters, They go up and down for themselves, His arrow proceeds as they cut themselves off.
8 Aoka ho tahaka ny lelosy izay mihalevona eny am-pandehanana izy; Aoka ho tahaka ny zaza-vakimanta izay tsy mahita masoandro izy.
He goes on as a snail that melts, [As] an untimely birth of a woman, They have 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 discern the bramble, As living, He whirls away in His burning anger.
10 Hifaly ny marina, raha mahita ny famaliana; hanasa ny tongony amin’ ny ran’ ny ratsy fanahy izy;
The righteous rejoices that he has seen vengeance, He washes 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.
And man says: “Surely fruit [is] for the righteous: Surely there is a God judging in the earth!”
