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.

Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki ndenge moko na « Kobebisa te. » Nzembo ya Davidi. Ezali solo ete bolobaka te tango bokataka makambo? Boni, bana na moto, bosambisaka na bosembo?

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

Te, ezala kati na mitema na bino, bosalaka mabongisi ezanga bosembo; botandaka kanza ya maboko na bino kati na mokili.

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

Bato mabe babebaka wuta na mbotama na bango, bapengwaka mpe balobaka lokuta wuta na mabumu ya bamama na bango.

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

Bazalaka na ngenge lokola ngenge ya nyoka, lokola ngenge ya etupa oyo eyokaka te, oyo ekangaka litoyi na yango,

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

oyo eyokaka te ata mingongo ya bato na soloka mpe ya moto ya maji oyo aleki na mayele.

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

Nzambe, buka minu na bango kati na minoko na bango; Yawe, buka bambanga ya bana ya bankosi.

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

Tika ete balimwa lokola mayi oyo ezali kotiola; Tika ete bambanzi na bango ebukana tango babetaka batolotolo.

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

Tika ete balimwa lokola soyi ya mbembe, lokola mwana oyo akomona moyi te mpo ete abimi na zemi oyo esopani.

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

Liboso ete banzungu na bino ekutana na moto ya basende, ezala ya mayi to ya kokawuka, bato mabe akolimwa.

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

Moto ya sembo akosepela, pamba te akomona Nzambe kozongisela bato mabe, mabe na mabe, mpe akotambola kati na makila na bango.

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

Mpe bato bakoloba: « Solo, ezali na lifuti mpo na moto ya sembo; solo, ezali na Nzambe oyo asambisaka mokili. »
