Psalms 58
1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A poem by David. Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones? Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men?
Zborovođi. Po napjevu “Ne pogubi!” Davidov. Miktam. Zar doista krojite pravdu, vi moćni, zar sudite pravo, sinovi ljudski?
2 No, in your heart you plot injustice. You measure out the violence of your hands in the earth.
Ne, već bezakonje smišljeno činite, po zemlji vam ruke dijele nepravde.
3 The wicked go astray from the womb. They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies.
Na krivu su putu bezbošci od krila majčina, na krivu su putu lašci od utrobe.
4 Their poison is like the poison of a snake, like a deaf cobra that stops its ear,
U njima je otrov kao u zmije, kao u ljutice što uši začepljuje
5 which doesn’t listen to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful the charmer may be.
da glas čarobnjakov ne čuje ni glas bajača vješta bajanju.
6 Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, LORD.
O Bože, polomi im zube u ustima; razbij, o Jahve, čeljusti lavićima!
7 Let them vanish like water that flows away. When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt.
K'o vode što hitro otječu neka se razliju, k'o zgažena trava neka se osuše.
8 Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away, like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.
Nek' budu k'o puž koji se pužuć' rastoči, k'o pometnut plot nek' sunca ne vide.
9 Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.
Prije nego vam kotlovi trnje osjete, dok je zeleno, neka ga vihor odnese.
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,
Radostan će biti pravednik kad ugleda odmazdu, noge će prati u krvi zlotvora.
11 so that men shall say, “Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous. Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth.”
I reći će ljudi: “Pravednik plod svoj ima! Još ima Boga da sudi na zemlji!”
