Zaburi 58
1 Je, ninyi watawala mnaongea haki? Mnahukumu kwa haki, ninyi watu?
Unto the end, destroy not, for David, for an inscription of a title. If in very deed you speak justice: judge right things, ye sons of men.
2 Hapana, mnafanya uovu mioyoni mwenu; munaeneza vurugu nchi yote kwa mikono yenu.
For in your heart you work iniquity: your hands forge injustice in the earth.
3 Waovu huenenda katika upotovu hata walipokuwa tumboni; wao wanaenenda katika upotovu tangu kuzaliwa, wakiongea uongo.
The wicked are alienated from the womb; they have gone astray from the womb: they have spoken false things.
4 Sumu yao ni kama sumu ya nyoka; wako kama fira kiziwi azibaye masikio yake,
Their madness is according to the likeness of a serpent: like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ears:
5 ambaye hasikilizi sauti ya waganga, haijalishi ustadi walio nao.
Which will not hear the voice of the charmers; nor of the wizard that charmeth wisely.
6 Vunja meno yao midomoni mwao, Mungu; uyatoe meno ya mwana simba, Yahwe.
God shall break in pieces their teeth in their mouth: the Lord shall break the grinders of the lions.
7 Wayeyuke kama maporomoko ya maji; wafyatuapo mishale yao, iwe kama haina ncha.
They shall come to nothing, like water running down; he hath bent his bow till they be weakened.
8 Wawe kama konokono ambaye huyeyuka na kutoweka, kama mtoto aliye zaliwa kabla ya wakati ambaye hakuona jua.
Like wax that melteth they shall be taken away: fire hath fallen on them, and they shall 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 swalloweth them up, as alive, in his wrath.
10 Mwenye haki atafurahia atakapoona kisasi cha Mungu; ataiosha miguu yake kwenye damu ya waovu,
The just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge: he shall 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 shall say: If indeed there be fruit to the just: there is indeed a God that judgeth them on the earth.
