Zaburi 58
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Mtindo wa “Usiharibu!” Utenzi wa Daudi. Enyi watawala, je, kweli mwanena kwa haki? Je, mnahukumu kwa unyofu miongoni mwa watu?
`In Ebreu thus, To victorie; `lese thou not the swete song, ether the semely salm, of Dauid. `In Jeroms translacioun thus, To the ouercomere, that thou lese not Dauid, meke and simple. Forsothe if ye speken riytfulnesse verili; ye sones of men, deme riytfuli.
2 La, mioyoni mwenu mnatunga udhalimu, na mikono yenu hupima jeuri duniani.
For in herte ye worchen wickidnesse in erthe; youre hondis maken redi vnriytfulnessis.
3 Waovu ni wapotovu tangu kuzaliwa kwao, toka tumboni mwa mama zao ni wakaidi na husema uongo.
Synneris weren maad aliens fro the wombe; thei erriden fro the wombe, thei spaken false thingis.
4 Sumu yao ni kama sumu ya nyoka, kama ile ya fira ambaye ameziba masikio yake,
Woodnesse is to hem, bi the licnesse of a serpent; as of a deef snake, and stoppynge hise eeris.
5 ambaye hatasikia sauti ya kutumbuiza ya mwaguzi, hata kama mganga angecheza kwa ustadi kiasi gani.
Which schal not here the vois of charmeris; and of a venym makere charmynge wiseli.
6 Ee Mungu, yavunje meno katika vinywa vyao; Ee Bwana, vunja meno makali ya hao simba!
God schal al to-breke the teeth of hem in her mouth; the Lord schal breke togidere the greet teeth of liouns.
7 Na watoweke kama maji yapitayo kwa kasi, wavutapo pinde zao, mishale yao na iwe butu.
Thei schulen come to nouyt, as water rennynge awei; he bente his bouwe, til thei ben maad sijk.
8 Kama konokono ayeyukavyo akitembea, kama mtoto aliyezaliwa akiwa mfu, wasilione jua.
As wexe that fletith awei, thei schulen be takun awei; fier felle aboue, and thei siyen not the sunne.
9 Kabla vyungu vyenu havijapata moto wa kuni za miiba, zikiwa mbichi au kavu, waovu watakuwa wamefagiliwa mbali.
Bifore that youre thornes vndurstoden the ramne; he swolewith hem so in ire, as lyuynge men.
10 Wenye haki watafurahi waonapo wakilipizwa kisasi, watakapochovya nyayo zao katika damu ya waovu.
The iust man schal be glad, whanne he schal se veniaunce; he schal waische hise hondis in the blood of a synner.
11 Ndipo wanadamu watasema, “Hakika utulivu wa wenye haki bado una thawabu, hakika kuna Mungu ahukumuye dunia.”
And a man schal seie treuli, For fruyt is to a iust man; treuli God is demynge hem in erthe.
