Psalms 58

Ge'ez original · 11 verses · some words can be tapped for a gloss

📖 This chapter exists in 3 other originals — side by side (Hebrew Old Testament, Septuagint, Vulgate)

⚠️ Psalms use Masoretic (Hebrew) numbering, which differs from printed Vulgate and Septuagint editions: Ps 58 here = Ps 57 in print. Convert before citing a printed edition.

ℹ️ This corpus has no morphological tagging. Glosses are matched by word form against a dictionary — a match does not prove it is the same word (an inflected form can coincide with another word’s lemma). Verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.

58:1

ፍጻሜ ፡ ኢታማስን ፡ ዘዳዊት ፡ አርአያ ፡ መጽሐፍ ። እመሰ ፡ አማን ፡ ጽድቀ ፡ ትነቡ ፤ ወርትዐ ፡ ትኴንኑ ፡ ደቂቀ ፡ እጓለ ፡ እምሕያው ።

Do you indeed speak righteousness, silent ones? Do you judge blamelessly, you sons of men?

世人哪，你們默然不語，真合公義嗎？施行審判，豈按正直嗎？

58:2

እስመ ፡ በልብክሙ ፡ ኃጢአተ ፡ ትገብሩ ፡ በዲበ ፡ ምድር ፤ ወጽልሑተ ፡ ይፀፍራ ፡ እደዊክሙ ።

No, in your heart you plot injustice. You measure out the violence of your hands on the earth.

不然！你們是心中作惡；你們在地上秤出你們手所行的強暴。

58:3

ተነክሩ ፡ ኃጥኣን ፡ እማሕፀን ፤ እምከርሥ ፡ ስሕቱ ፡ ወነበቡ ፡ ሐሰተ ።

The wicked go astray from the womb. They are wayward as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

惡人一出母胎就與上帝疏遠，一離母腹便走錯路，說謊話。

58:4

ወመዐቶሙኒ ፡ ከመ ፡ ሕምዘ ፡ አርዌ ፡ ምድር ፤ ከመ ፡ አርዌ ፡ ምድር ፡ ጽምምት ፡ እዘኒሃ ።

Their poison is like the poison of a snake, like a deaf cobra that stops its ear,

他們的毒氣好像蛇的毒氣；他們好像塞耳的聾虺，

58:5

እንት ፡ ኢትሰምዕ ፡ ቃለ ፡ ዘይሬቅያ ፤ እንዘ ፡ ይሠርያ ፡ መሠርይ ፡ ጠቢብ ።

which doesn’t listen to the voice of charmers, no matter how skillful the charmer may be.

不聽行法術的聲音，雖用極靈的咒語也是不聽。

58:6

እግዚአብሔር ፡ ይሰብር ፡ ስነኒሆሙ ፡ በውስተ ፡ አፉሆሙ ፤ ወይሰብር ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ጥረሲሆሙ ፡ ለአናብስት ።

Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh.

上帝啊，求你敲碎他們口中的牙！耶和華啊，求你敲掉少壯獅子的大牙！

58:7

ወየኀስሩ ፡ ከመ ፡ ማይ ፡ ዘይትከዐው ፤ ወይዌስቅ ፡ ቀስቶ ፡ እስከ ፡ ያደክዎሙ ።

Let them vanish like water that flows away. When they draw the bow, let their arrows be made blunt.

願他們消滅，如急流的水一般；他們瞅準射箭的時候，願箭頭彷彿砍斷。

58:8

ወየኀልቁ ፡ ከመ ፡ ሰምዕ ፡ ዘይትመሰው ፤ ወድቀት ፡ እሳት ፡ ወኢርኢክዋ ፡ ለፀሐይ ።

Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away, like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.

願他們像蝸牛消化過去，又像婦人墜落未見天日的胎。

58:9

ዘእንበለ ፡ ይትዐወቅ ፡ ሦክክሙ ፡ ሕለተ ፡ ኮነ ፡ ከመ ፡ ሕያዋን ፡ በመዐቱ ፡ ይውኅጠክሙ ።

Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns, he will sweep away the green and the burning alike.

你們用荊棘燒火，鍋還未熱，他要用旋風把青的和燒着的一齊颳去。

58:10

ይትፌሣሕ ፡ ጻድቅ ፡ ሶበ ፡ ይሬኢ ፡ በቀለ ፤ ወይትኀፀብ ፡ እዴሁ ፡ በደመ ፡ ኃጥእ ።

The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance. He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,

義人見仇敵遭報就歡喜，要在惡人的血中洗腳。

58:11

ወይብል ፡ ሰብእ ፡ ቦኑ ፡ እንጋ ፡ ፍሬ ፡ ለጻድቅ ፤ ወቦኑ ፡ እንጋ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ይፈትሕ ፡ ሎሙ ፡ በዲበ ፡ ምድር ።

so that men shall say, “Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous. Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth.”

因此，人必說：義人誠然有善報；在地上果有施行判斷的上帝！
