< Psalms 58 >

1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David. Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
Govorite li zaista istinu, silni, sudite li pravo, sinovi èovjeèiji?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
Ta, bezakonja sastavljate u srcu, meæete na mjerila zloèinstva ruku svojih na zemlji.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
Od samoga roðenja zastraniše bezakonici, od utrobe materine tumaraju govoreæi laž.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
U njima je jed kao jed zmijinji, kao gluhe aspide, koja zatiskuje uho svoje,
5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
Koja ne èuje glasa bajaèu, vraèaru, vještu u vraèanju.
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
Bože! polomi im zube u ustima njihovijem; razbij èeljusti lavovima, Gospode!
7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
Nek se proliju kao voda, i nestane ih. Kad puste strijele, neka budu kao slomljene.
8 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
Kao puž, koji se rašèinja, neka išèile; kao dijete, koje žena pobaci, neka ne vide sunca.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
Prije nego kotlovi vaši osjete toplotu od potpaljena trnja, i sirovo i nagorjelo neka raznese vihor.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
Obradovaæe se pravednik kad vidi osvetu, opraæe noge svoje u krvi bezbožnikovoj.
11 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
I reæi æe ljudi: zaista ima ploda pravedniku! zaista je Bog sudija na zemlji!
