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?
Načelniku godbe: "Ne pogubi"; Davidova pesem odlična. Ali zares, o krdelo, govorite pravico? po pravici sodite, sinovi človeški?
2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
Ne, celo iz srca počenjate krivice; v tej deželi tehtate rok svojih silovitost.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
V stran zavijajo krivični od rojstva; tavajo od materinega telesa laž govoreč.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
Strup imajo podoben kačjemu strupu; kakor gada gluhega, ki si maši uho svoje.
5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
Kateri ne posluša glasú mrmrajočih, njega, ki zna zagovarjati jako.
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
O Bog, zdróbi jim zobe v njih ustih; mladih levov kočnike poderi, 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.
Stopé se naj kakor voda, odidejo naj neprestano; njemu, ki napenja pušice svoje, izpremené se naj kakor v klasje pušice.
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 topi, bode naj vsak, kakor žene splav, kakor ki niso videli solnca.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath.
Ko se ne bode še čutilo trnje vaše, trnje ščipkovo, tako zeleno kakor suho podrl bode vse.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
Radoval se bode pravični, ko bode videl maščevanje; noge svoje bode umival v krivičnega krvi.
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.
In človek poreče: Vendar ima sad pravični, vendar je sodnik na zemlji!
