Psalms 58
1 For the leader. Al tashheth. Of David. A michtam. Do you speak what is right, you gods? With equity judge you your people?
Je, ninyi watawala mnaongea haki? Mnahukumu kwa haki, ninyi watu?
2 In the land you practise iniquity – all of you; violence do you dispense with your hands.
Hapana, mnafanya uovu mioyoni mwenu; munaeneza vurugu nchi yote kwa mikono yenu.
3 The wicked go astray from the womb liars take the wrong path from their birth.
Waovu huenenda katika upotovu hata walipokuwa tumboni; wao wanaenenda katika upotovu tangu kuzaliwa, wakiongea uongo.
4 Venom have they like the venom of snakes, they are like the deaf adder that stops her ears,
Sumu yao ni kama sumu ya nyoka; wako kama fira kiziwi azibaye masikio yake,
5 and refuses to listen to the voice of the charmer, or binder of spells, no matter how cunning.
ambaye hasikilizi sauti ya waganga, haijalishi ustadi walio nao.
6 O God, break to pieces the teeth in their mouth, tear out the great teeth of the young lions, Lord.
Vunja meno yao midomoni mwao, Mungu; uyatoe meno ya mwana simba, Yahwe.
7 May they melt away like running water! Like tender grass, cut down may they be!
Wayeyuke kama maporomoko ya maji; wafyatuapo mishale yao, iwe kama haina ncha.
8 Like the snail that dissolves on its crawling path, like the birth untimely which sees not the sunlight.
Wawe kama konokono ambaye huyeyuka na kutoweka, kama mtoto aliye zaliwa kabla ya wakati ambaye hakuona jua.
9 Faster than a thorn-fire heats your pots, he will come with his tempest and sweep them away.
Kabla ya vyungu vyenu kupata joto la kuungua kwa miiba, yeye ataviondosha kwa upepo mkali, miiba ya kijani yote na ile inayoungua.
10 The sight of such vengeance will gladden the righteous; their feet they will wash in the blood of the wicked.
Mwenye haki atafurahia atakapoona kisasi cha Mungu; ataiosha miguu yake kwenye damu ya waovu,
11 People will say, ‘Yes, the just are rewarded: yes, on the earth is a God who is Judge.’
hivyo watu watasema, “Hakika kuna tuzo kwa ajili ya mtu wenye haki; hakika kuna Mungu ahukumuye ulimwengu.”
