Salamo 58
1 Toe mitaron-kavantañañe hao t’ie mitsiñe? mizaka an-kahiti’e hao, ry ana’ ondatio?
“For the leader of the music. To the tune of “Do not destroy.” A psalm of David.” Do ye, indeed, administer justice faithfully, ye mighty ones? Do ye judge with uprightness, ye sons of men?
2 Hete, te mone hatsivokarañe ty itoloña’areo an-troke ao; lanjae’ areo amy taney o fitavanam-pità’areoo.
Nay, in your hearts ye contrive iniquity; Your hands weigh out violence in the land!
3 Amoean-kovin-drene’e ty lo-tsereke, mañariok’ añe vata’e miboloañe ty mpivolam-bande.
The wicked are estranged, from their very birth; The liars go astray as soon as they are born.
4 Hoe vorem-pandrefe’ala ty vore’ iareo, manahake o meren-kareñeñe manentsen-tsofiñeo,
They have poison, like the poison of a serpent; Like the deaf adder's, which stoppeth her ear;
5 tsy hahatsanoña’e ty fikoràn’ambiasa ndra ty pandrombo-jiny bey.
Which listeneth not to the voice of the charmer, And of the sorcerer, skilful in incantations.
6 Ry Andrianañahare, rofoto am-bava’e ao o nife’eo, atrankaño ty famotsi’ o liona tora’eo, ry Iehovà
Break their teeth, O God! in their mouths! Break out the great teeth of the lions, O LORD!
7 Angao hisaok’ añe iereo hoe rano vohitse; Lonik’abey te ho zoeñe domoke o ama-paleo t’ie mañohatse o fale’eo.
May they melt like waters, which flow away; May their arrows, when they aim them, be as if cut in pieces!
8 Lonike t’ie hanahake ty harevo’ o sifotse mihamodo te misitseo, hoe ajaja miboloañe tsy mahatrea i àndroy.
May they be like the snail, which melteth away as it goeth; Like the abortion of a woman, that seeth not the sun!
9 Aolo te hahamae valàñe o afom-patikeo, le fonga ho faohe’e an-talìo ty leñe naho ty mibebañe,
Before your pots feel the heat of the thorns, Whether fresh, or burning, may they be blown away!
10 Hirebeke o vañoñeo te mahaisake i famaleañey, ho sasà’e an-dio’ o tsivokatseo o fandia’eo
The righteous shall rejoice, when he seeth such vengeance; He shall bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 Vaho hanao ty hoe ondatio: Toe tsy ho po-tambe o vantañeo; toe eo t’i Andrianañahare mizaka an-tane atoy.
Then shall men say, “Truly there is a reward for the righteous! Truly there is a God who is judge upon the earth!”
