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?
Ali zares govorite pravičnost, oh skupnost? Ali sodite iskreno, oh vi človeški sinovi?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
Da, v srcu počnete zlobnost, na zemlji presojate nasilje svojih rok.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
Zlobni so odtujeni od maternice. Proč odidejo takoj, ko so rojeni, govoreč laži.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
Njihov strup je podoben kačjemu strupu. Podobni so gluhemu gadu, ki si maši svoje uho,
5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
ki ne bo prisluhnil glasu krotilcev, ki nikoli ne kroti tako oprezno.
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
Oh Bog, polomi jim njihove zobe v njihovih ustih. Mladim levom izruj velik zob, oh Gospod.
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.
Naj se stopijo kakor vode, ki nenehno tečejo. Ko on napenja svoj lok, da izstreli svoje puščice, naj bodo kakor razrezani na koščke.
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.
Kakor polž, ki se stopi, naj premine vsak izmed njih. Kakor preran porod ženske, da oni ne morejo videti sonca.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
Preden lahko vaši lonci začutijo trnje, jih bo odvedel proč kakor z vrtinčastim vetrom, tako žive kakor v svojem besu.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
Pravični se bo veselil, ko vidi maščevanje. Svoja stopala si bo umil v krvi zlobnega.
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.
Tako da bo človek rekel: »Resnično je nagrada za pravičnega. Resnično, on je Bog, ki sodi na zemlji.«
