Psalms 58
1 IADUEN komail loton, pwe komail jota men lokaia me pun, o komail jota men kapun nin tiak inen, komail aramaj akan?
For the chief musician; set to Al Tashheth. A psalm of David. A michtam. Do you rulers speak righteousness? Do you judge uprightly, you people?
2 Melel, komail kin wia me japun nan monion o, o nan jap o komail kin kelail on wiada me jued.
No, you commit wickedness in your heart; you distribute violence throughout the land with your hands.
3 Me doo jan Kot akan me japun jan pon kapan in ar akan; me likam kan kin janjalon jili jan nan kaped en in ar akan.
The wicked go astray even when they are in the womb; they go astray from birth, speaking lies.
4 Ar linaranar rajon linaranar en jerpent amen, rajon jerpent jalonepon, me penala jalon a.
Their poison is like a snake's poison; they are like a deaf adder that stops up its ears,
5 Pwen der ron nil en jaunwunani o kati ani men, me kadek wunani.
that pays no attention to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful they are.
6 Main Kot, kom kotin katip pajan ni nan au arail; Main Ieowa, kom kotin kawela ni en laien pulepul akan.
Break their teeth in their mouths, God; break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh.
7 Kom kotin kawe ir ala dueta pil me kin pwilipwili wei. Ma a kaonopada a kananan kajik katieu, re kin tip pajan.
Let them melt away as water that runs off; when they shoot their arrows, let them be as though they had no points.
8 Re pan joredi dueta kamedel aman kin mon pena; re jota pan kilan katipin dueta jeri amen, me jota dar puni.
Let them be like a snail that melts and passes away, like the untimely-born child of a woman that never sees the sunlight.
9 Mon omial ainpot pan pam tui, a pan kotin jipet wei ni a onion.
Before your pots can feel the thorn's burning heat, he will take them away with a whirlwind, the green thorns and the burning thorns alike.
10 Me pun o pan peren kida a lao kilan depuk on ir, o a pan widen na a nana ntan me doo jan Kot o.
The righteous will rejoice when he sees God's vengeance; he will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,
11 Aramaj akan ap pan inda: Me pun kan pan tunole katin; pwe Kot eta jaunkadeik nin jappa.
so that men will say, “Truly, there is a reward for the righteous person; truly there is a God who judges the earth.”
