Psalms 58

1 For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam. Do ye indeed speak as a righteous company? Do ye judge with equity the sons of men?

Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Ku ddoboozi, “Tozikiriza.” Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Ddala mwogera eby’amazima oba musirika busirisi? Abaana b’abantu mubasalira emisango mu bwenkanya?

2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out in the earth the violence of your hands.

Nedda, mutegeka ebitali bya bwenkanya mu mitima gyammwe; era bye mukola bireeta obwegugungo mu nsi.

3 The wicked are estranged from the womb; the speakers of lies go astray as soon as they are born.

Abakola ebibi bakyama nga baakazaalibwa, bava mu lubuto nga balina ekibi, era bakula boogera bya bulimba.

4 Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; they are like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ear;

Balina obusagwa ng’obw’omusota; bali ng’enswera etawulira ezibikira amatu gaayo;

5 Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, or of the most cunning binder of spells.

n’etawulira na luyimba lwa mukugu agisendasenda okugikwata.

6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth; break out the cheek-teeth of the young lions, O LORD.

Ayi Katonda, menya amannyo gaabwe; owangulemu amannyo g’empologoma zino, Ayi Mukama.

7 Let them melt away as water that runneth apace; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.

Leka babule ng’amazzi agakulukuta ne gagenda. Bwe banaanuula omutego, leka obusaale bwabwe bwe balasa bufufuggale.

8 Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away; like the untimely births of a woman, that have not seen the sun.

Babe ng’ekkovu erisaanuukira mu lugendo lwalyo. Babe ng’omwana azaaliddwa ng’afudde, ataliraba ku njuba!

9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will sweep it away with a whirlwind, the raw and the burning alike.

Nga n’entamu tennabuguma, alibayerawo n’obusungu obungi nga kibuyaga ow’amaanyi ennyo.

10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

Omutuukirivu alisanyuka ng’alabye bamuwalanidde eggwanga, olwo n’ebigere bye ne bisaabaana omusaayi ogw’abakola ebibi.

11 And men shall say: 'Verily there is a reward for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.'

Awo abantu bonna balyogera nti, “Ddala, abatuukirivu balwanirirwa. Ddala waliwo Katonda alamula mu bwenkanya ku nsi.”
