Psalmi 58
1 Ali zares govorite pravičnost, oh skupnost? Ali sodite iskreno, oh vi človeški sinovi?
For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A poem by David. Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones? Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men?
2 Da, v srcu počnete zlobnost, na zemlji presojate nasilje svojih rok.
No, in your heart you plot injustice. You measure out the violence of your hands in the earth.
3 Zlobni so odtujeni od maternice. Proč odidejo takoj, ko so rojeni, govoreč laži.
The wicked go astray from the womb. They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
4 Njihov strup je podoben kačjemu strupu. Podobni so gluhemu gadu, ki si maši svoje uho,
Their poison is like the poison of a snake, like a deaf cobra that stops its ear,
5 ki ne bo prisluhnil glasu krotilcev, ki nikoli ne kroti tako oprezno.
which does not listen to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful the charmer may be.
6 Oh Bog, polomi jim njihove zobe v njihovih ustih. Mladim levom izruj velik zob, oh Gospod.
Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, LORD.
7 Naj se stopijo kakor vode, ki nenehno tečejo. Ko on napenja svoj lok, da izstreli svoje puščice, naj bodo kakor razrezani na koščke.
Let them vanish like water that flows away. When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt.
8 Kakor polž, ki se stopi, naj premine vsak izmed njih. Kakor preran porod ženske, da oni ne morejo videti sonca.
Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away, like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.
9 Preden lahko vaši lonci začutijo trnje, jih bo odvedel proč kakor z vrtinčastim vetrom, tako žive kakor v svojem besu.
Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.
10 Pravični se bo veselil, ko vidi maščevanje. Svoja stopala si bo umil v krvi zlobnega.
The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,
11 Tako da bo človek rekel: »Resnično je nagrada za pravičnega. Resnično, on je Bog, ki sodi na zemlji.«
so that men shall say, “Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous. Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth.”
