< Psalmi 58 >
1 Ali zares govorite pravičnost, oh skupnost? Ali sodite iskreno, oh vi človeški sinovi?
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David. Do you indeed speak justly, O rulers? Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?
2 Da, v srcu počnete zlobnost, na zemlji presojate nasilje svojih rok.
No, in your hearts you devise injustice; with your hands you mete out violence on the earth.
3 Zlobni so odtujeni od maternice. Proč odidejo takoj, ko so rojeni, govoreč laži.
The wicked are estranged from the womb; the liars go astray from birth.
4 Njihov strup je podoben kačjemu strupu. Podobni so gluhemu gadu, ki si maši svoje uho,
Their venom is like the venom of a snake, like a cobra that shuts its ears,
5 ki ne bo prisluhnil glasu krotilcev, ki nikoli ne kroti tako oprezno.
refusing to hear the tune of the charmer who skillfully weaves his spell.
6 Oh Bog, polomi jim njihove zobe v njihovih ustih. Mladim levom izruj velik zob, oh Gospod.
O God, shatter their teeth in their mouths; O LORD, tear out the fangs of the lions.
7 Naj se stopijo kakor vode, ki nenehno tečejo. Ko on napenja svoj lok, da izstreli svoje puščice, naj bodo kakor razrezani na koščke.
May they vanish like water that runs off; when they draw the bow, may their arrows be blunted.
8 Kakor polž, ki se stopi, naj premine vsak izmed njih. Kakor preran porod ženske, da oni ne morejo videti sonca.
Like a slug that dissolves in its slime, like a woman’s stillborn child, may they never see 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 burning thorns— whether green or dry— He will sweep them away.
10 Pravični se bo veselil, ko vidi maščevanje. Svoja stopala si bo umil v krvi zlobnega.
The righteous will rejoice when they see they are avenged; they will wash their 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.«
Then men will say, “There is surely a reward for the righteous! There is surely a God who judges the earth!”
