Psalms 58
1 For the music director. According to “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm (miktam) of David. You leaders, do you really say what is right? Do you judge people fairly?
Načelniku godbe: "Ne pogubi"; Davidova pesem odlična. Ali zares, o krdelo, govorite pravico? po pravici sodite, sinovi človeški?
2 No, for in your minds you plan evil. You cause violence everywhere!
Ne, celo iz srca počenjate krivice; v tej deželi tehtate rok svojih silovitost.
3 The wicked are sinners from birth; from the moment they're born they tell lies.
V stran zavijajo krivični od rojstva; tavajo od materinega telesa laž govoreč.
4 They have venom like that of a poisonous snake, and just like a cobra they stop listening,
Strup imajo podoben kačjemu strupu; kakor gada gluhega, ki si maši uho svoje.
5 refusing to hear the voice of the snake charmers or the spellbinders.
Kateri ne posluša glasú mrmrajočih, njega, ki zna zagovarjati jako.
6 God, break their teeth, and smash the jaws of these lions, Lord.
O Bog, zdróbi jim zobe v njih ustih; mladih levov kočnike poderi, Gospod!
7 May they vanish like water that flows away; when they shoot their arrows may they miss their mark.
Stopé se naj kakor voda, odidejo naj neprestano; njemu, ki napenja pušice svoje, izpremené se naj kakor v klasje pušice.
8 May they be like the slime of snails that dissolves away, like a stillborn child that never saw the light of day.
Kakor polž, ki se topi, bode naj vsak, kakor žene splav, kakor ki niso videli solnca.
9 Before the cooking pot is hot from burning thorns, whether fresh or dry, God will blow them away.
Ko se ne bode še čutilo trnje vaše, trnje ščipkovo, tako zeleno kakor suho podrl bode vse.
10 Those who live right will be happy when they see there is punishment; they will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked.
Radoval se bode pravični, ko bode videl maščevanje; noge svoje bode umival v krivičnega krvi.
11 They will say, “There is definitely a reward for those who live right; there is certainly a God who judges fairly on earth.”
In človek poreče: Vendar ima sad pravični, vendar je sodnik na zemlji!
