Psalms 58

1 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.

Ali zares govorite pravičnost, oh skupnost? Ali sodite iskreno, oh vi človeški sinovi?

2 For, even in your heart, you work iniquity. Your hands construct injustice on the earth.

Da, v srcu počnete zlobnost, na zemlji presojate nasilje svojih rok.

3 Sinners have become foreigners from the womb; they have gone astray from conception. They have been speaking falsehoods.

Zlobni so odtujeni od maternice. Proč odidejo takoj, ko so rojeni, govoreč laži.

4 Their fury is similar to that of a serpent; it is like a deaf asp, who even blocks her ears,

Njihov strup je podoben kačjemu strupu. Podobni so gluhemu gadu, ki si maši svoje uho,

5 who will not listen to the voice of charmers, nor even to the enchanter who chants wisely.

ki ne bo prisluhnil glasu krotilcev, ki nikoli ne kroti tako oprezno.

6 God will crush their teeth within their own mouth. The Lord will break the molars of the lions.

Oh Bog, polomi jim njihove zobe v njihovih ustih. Mladim levom izruj velik zob, oh Gospod.

7 They will come to nothing, like water flowing away. He has aimed his bow, while they are being weakened.

Naj se stopijo kakor vode, ki nenehno tečejo. Ko on napenja svoj lok, da izstreli svoje puščice, naj bodo kakor razrezani na koščke.

8 Like wax that flows, they will be carried away. Fire has fallen upon them, and they will not see the sun.

Kakor polž, ki se stopi, naj premine vsak izmed njih. Kakor preran porod ženske, da oni ne morejo videti sonca.

9 Before your thorns could know the brier, he consumes them alive, as if in rage.

Preden lahko vaši lonci začutijo trnje, jih bo odvedel proč kakor z vrtinčastim vetrom, tako žive kakor v svojem besu.

10 The just one will rejoice when he sees vindication. He will wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.

Pravični se bo veselil, ko vidi maščevanje. Svoja stopala si bo umil v krvi zlobnega.

11 And man will say, “If the just one is fruitful, then, truly, there is a God judging them on earth.”

Tako da bo človek rekel: »Resnično je nagrada za pravičnega. Resnično, on je Bog, ki sodi na zemlji.«
