Psalmi 58
1 Govorite li zaista istinu, silni, sudite li pravo, sinovi èovjeèiji?
To the Chief Musician. "Do not Destroy." A precious Psalm, of David. Are ye, indeed, silent [when] righteousness, ye should speak? When, with equity, ye should judge, O ye sons of men?
2 Ta, bezakonja sastavljate u srcu, meæete na mjerila zloèinstva ruku svojih na zemlji.
Aye! ye all do work, perversity, —Throughout the land, your hands, weigh out, violence!
3 Od samoga roðenja zastraniše bezakonici, od utrobe materine tumaraju govoreæi laž.
Lawless men have been estranged from birth, They have gone astray from their nativity, speaking falsehood;
4 U njima je jed kao jed zmijinji, kao gluhe aspide, koja zatiskuje uho svoje,
Their poison, is like unto the poison of a serpent, Like the deaf adder, that stoppeth his ear;
5 Koja ne èuje glasa bajaèu, vraèaru, vještu u vraèanju.
That will not hearken to the voice of whisperers, Though the wise one try to bind him with spells.
6 Bože! polomi im zube u ustima njihovijem; razbij èeljusti lavovima, Gospode!
O God! break away their teeth in their mouth, The biters of the young lions, knock thou out, O Yahweh!
7 Nek se proliju kao voda, i nestane ih. Kad puste strijele, neka budu kao slomljene.
Let such men flow away like waters that disperse themselves: He prepareth his arrow, Like [grass] let them be cut down:
8 Kao puž, koji se rašèinja, neka išèile; kao dijete, koje žena pobaci, neka ne vide sunca.
Like a snail, which melteth away as it goeth, An untimely birth of a woman, which hath not seen the sun:
9 Prije nego kotlovi vaši osjete toplotu od potpaljena trnja, i sirovo i nagorjelo neka raznese vihor.
Before your kettles can perceive the [kindled] bramble, Be he green or be he withered, he shall be swept away.
10 Obradovaæe se pravednik kad vidi osvetu, opraæe noge svoje u krvi bezbožnikovoj.
The righteous man will rejoice when he hath seen an avenging, His feet, will he bathe in the blood of the lawless one: —
11 I reæi æe ljudi: zaista ima ploda pravedniku! zaista je Bog sudija na zemlji!
So that a son of earth may say—Surely there is fruit for the righteous man! Surely there are gods who judge in the earth!
