Zaburi 58
1 Je, ninyi watawala mnaongea haki? Mnahukumu kwa haki, ninyi watu?
Unto the end. May you not destroy. Of David, with the inscription of a title. If, truly and certainly, you speak justice, then judge what is right, you sons of men.
2 Hapana, mnafanya uovu mioyoni mwenu; munaeneza vurugu nchi yote kwa mikono yenu.
For, even in your heart, you work iniquity. Your hands construct injustice on the earth.
3 Waovu huenenda katika upotovu hata walipokuwa tumboni; wao wanaenenda katika upotovu tangu kuzaliwa, wakiongea uongo.
Sinners have become foreigners from the womb; they have gone astray from conception. They have been speaking falsehoods.
4 Sumu yao ni kama sumu ya nyoka; wako kama fira kiziwi azibaye masikio yake,
Their fury is similar to that of a serpent; it is like a deaf asp, who even blocks her ears,
5 ambaye hasikilizi sauti ya waganga, haijalishi ustadi walio nao.
who will not listen to the voice of charmers, nor even to the enchanter who chants wisely.
6 Vunja meno yao midomoni mwao, Mungu; uyatoe meno ya mwana simba, Yahwe.
God will crush their teeth within their own mouth. The Lord will break the molars of the lions.
7 Wayeyuke kama maporomoko ya maji; wafyatuapo mishale yao, iwe kama haina ncha.
They will come to nothing, like water flowing away. He has aimed his bow, while they are being weakened.
8 Wawe kama konokono ambaye huyeyuka na kutoweka, kama mtoto aliye zaliwa kabla ya wakati ambaye hakuona jua.
Like wax that flows, they will be carried away. Fire has fallen upon them, and they will not see the sun.
9 Kabla ya vyungu vyenu kupata joto la kuungua kwa miiba, yeye ataviondosha kwa upepo mkali, miiba ya kijani yote na ile inayoungua.
Before your thorns could know the brier, he consumes them alive, as if in rage.
10 Mwenye haki atafurahia atakapoona kisasi cha Mungu; ataiosha miguu yake kwenye damu ya waovu,
The just one will rejoice when he sees vindication. He will wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
11 hivyo watu watasema, “Hakika kuna tuzo kwa ajili ya mtu wenye haki; hakika kuna Mungu ahukumuye ulimwengu.”
And man will say, “If the just one is fruitful, then, truly, there is a God judging them on earth.”
