Psalms 58
1 Fún adarí orin. Tí ohùn “Má ṣe parun.” Ti Dafidi. Miktamu. Ẹ̀yin ha ń sọ òdodo nítòótọ́ ẹ̀yin ìjọ ènìyàn? Ǹjẹ́ ẹ̀yin ń ṣe ìdájọ́ tí ó ṣe títọ́ ẹ̀yìn ọmọ ènìyàn?
“For the leader of the music. To the tune of “Do not destroy.” A psalm of David.” Do ye, indeed, administer justice faithfully, ye mighty ones? Do ye judge with uprightness, ye sons of men?
2 Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, nínú ọkàn yín ẹ̀yìn ń gbèrò àìṣòdodo, ọwọ́ yín sì tú ìwà ipá jáde ni ayé.
Nay, in your hearts ye contrive iniquity; Your hands weigh out violence in the land!
3 Ní inú ìyá wọn wá ni ènìyàn búburú tí ṣìnà, lójúkan náà tí a ti bí wọn, wọn a máa ṣèké.
The wicked are estranged, from their very birth; The liars go astray as soon as they are born.
4 Oró wọn dàbí oró ejò, wọn dàbí adití ejò paramọ́lẹ̀ tí ó di ara rẹ̀ ni etí,
They have poison, like the poison of a serpent; Like the deaf adder's, which stoppeth her ear;
5 tí kò ní gbọ́ ìpè àwọn atunilójú, bí ó ti wù kí ó máa fi ọgbọ́n ṣe ìtujú tó.
Which listeneth not to the voice of the charmer, And of the sorcerer, skilful in incantations.
6 Ká eyín ẹnu wọn, Ọlọ́run; ní ẹnu wọn, ká ọ̀gàn àwọn ọmọ kìnnìún, Olúwa.
Break their teeth, O God! in their mouths! Break out the great teeth of the lions, O LORD!
7 Jẹ́ kí wọn parẹ́ bí omi tó ń sàn lọ; nígbà tí ó bá fa ọfà rẹ̀, kí ọ̀kọ̀ wọn kí ó ṣẹ́.
May they melt like waters, which flow away; May their arrows, when they aim them, be as if cut in pieces!
8 Jẹ́ kí wọn rí bí ìgbín tí rẹ̀ dànù tí ó sì ṣègbé bí ọmọ tí oṣù rẹ̀ kò pé, kí wọn má ṣe rí oòrùn.
May they be like the snail, which melteth away as it goeth; Like the abortion of a woman, that seeth not the sun!
9 Kí ìkòkò yín kí ó tó mọ ìgbóná ẹ̀gún; bóyá ní tútù tàbí ní gbígbẹ, yóò fi ìjì gbá wọn lọ.
Before your pots feel the heat of the thorns, Whether fresh, or burning, may they be blown away!
10 Olódodo yóò yọ̀ nígbà a bá ń gbẹ̀san wọn, nígbà tí wọn bá wẹ ẹsẹ̀ wọn nínú ẹ̀jẹ̀ ènìyàn búburú.
The righteous shall rejoice, when he seeth such vengeance; He shall bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 Àwọn ènìyàn yóò wí pé, “Lóòtítọ́ èrè àwọn ń bẹ fún olódodo; lóòtítọ́ òun ni Ọlọ́run tí ń ṣe ìdájọ́ ní ayé.”
Then shall men say, “Truly there is a reward for the righteous! Truly there is a God who is judge upon the earth!”
