Psalmi 58

1 Govorite li zaista istinu, silni, sudite li pravo, sinovi èovjeèiji?

For the leader. Al tashheth. Of David. A michtam. Do you speak what is right, you gods? With equity judge you your people?

2 Ta, bezakonja sastavljate u srcu, meæete na mjerila zloèinstva ruku svojih na zemlji.

In the land you practise iniquity – all of you; violence do you dispense with your hands.

3 Od samoga roðenja zastraniše bezakonici, od utrobe materine tumaraju govoreæi laž.

The wicked go astray from the womb liars take the wrong path from their birth.

4 U njima je jed kao jed zmijinji, kao gluhe aspide, koja zatiskuje uho svoje,

Venom have they like the venom of snakes, they are like the deaf adder that stops her ears,

5 Koja ne èuje glasa bajaèu, vraèaru, vještu u vraèanju.

and refuses to listen to the voice of the charmer, or binder of spells, no matter how cunning.

6 Bože! polomi im zube u ustima njihovijem; razbij èeljusti lavovima, Gospode!

O God, break to pieces the teeth in their mouth, tear out the great teeth of the young lions, Lord.

7 Nek se proliju kao voda, i nestane ih. Kad puste strijele, neka budu kao slomljene.

May they melt away like running water! Like tender grass, cut down may they be!

8 Kao puž, koji se rašèinja, neka išèile; kao dijete, koje žena pobaci, neka ne vide sunca.

Like the snail that dissolves on its crawling path, like the birth untimely which sees not the sunlight.

9 Prije nego kotlovi vaši osjete toplotu od potpaljena trnja, i sirovo i nagorjelo neka raznese vihor.

Faster than a thorn-fire heats your pots, he will come with his tempest and sweep them away.

10 Obradovaæe se pravednik kad vidi osvetu, opraæe noge svoje u krvi bezbožnikovoj.

The sight of such vengeance will gladden the righteous; their feet they will wash in the blood of the wicked.

11 I reæi æe ljudi: zaista ima ploda pravedniku! zaista je Bog sudija na zemlji!

People will say, “Yes, the just are rewarded: yes, on the earth is a God who is Judge.”
