| 2 εἰ ἀληθῶς ἄρα δικαιοσύνην λαλεῖτε εὐθεῖα κρίνετε οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων 3 καὶ γὰρ ἐν καρδίᾳ ἀνομίας ἐργάζεσθε ἐν τῇ γῇ ἀδικίαν αἱ χεῖρες ὑμῶν συμπλέκουσιν 4 ἀπηλλοτριώθησαν οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀπὸ μήτρας ἐπλανήθησαν ἀπὸ γαστρός ἐλάλησαν ψεύδη 5 θυμὸς αὐτοῖς κατὰ τὴν ὁμοίωσιν τοῦ ὄφεως ὡσεὶ ἀσπίδος κωφῆς καὶ βυούσης τὰ ὦτα αὐτῆς 6 ἥτις οὐκ εἰσακούσεται φωνὴν ἐπᾳδόντων φαρμάκου τε φαρμακευομένου παρὰ σοφοῦ 7 ὁ θεὸς συνέτριψεν τοὺς ὀδόντας αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν τὰς μύλας τῶν λεόντων συνέθλασεν κύριος 8 ἐξουδενωθήσονται ὡς ὕδωρ διαπορευόμενον ἐντενεῖ τὸ τόξον αὐτοῦ ἕως οὗ ἀσθενήσουσιν 9 ὡσεὶ κηρὸς ὁ τακεὶς ἀνταναιρεθήσονται ἐπέπεσε πῦρ καὶ οὐκ εἶδον τὸν ἥλιον 10 πρὸ τοῦ συνιέναι τὰς ἀκάνθας ὑμῶν τὴν ῥάμνον ὡσεὶ ζῶντας ὡσεὶ ἐν ὀργῇ καταπίεται ὑμᾶς 11 εὐφρανθήσεται δίκαιος ὅταν ἴδῃ ἐκδίκησιν ἀσεβῶν τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ νίψεται ἐν τῷ αἵματι τοῦ ἁμαρτωλοῦ 12 καὶ ἐρεῖ ἄνθρωπος εἰ ἄρα ἔστιν καρπὸς τῷ δικαίῳ ἄρα ἐστὶν ὁ θεὸς κρίνων αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ γῇ | 2 Nobles all, are they honest words you utter? And you, common folk, do you make just award? 3 See how you devise treachery in your hearts, deal out to this land nothing but oppression! 4 Sinners that left the womb only to go a-straying; renegades and liars their mothers bore them! 5 They are venomous as serpents, as the asp that turns a deaf ear 6 and will not listen to the snake-charmer’s music, skilful player though he be. 7 My God, break their cruel fangs; Lord, shatter their jaws, strong as the jaws of lions. 8 Like spilt water let them run to waste, shoot none but harmless arrows; 9 melt into nothing, the snail’s way, perish like the untimely birth that sees never the light of the sun. 10 Green stalks the whirlwind carries away, while yonder pot still waits for fuel! 11 The innocent man will triumph at the sight of their punishment, as he dips his hands in the blood of the evil-doer; 12 Sure enough, men will say, innocence has its reward, sure enough, there is a God who grants redress here on earth. | 2 Si vere utique justitiam loquimini, recta judicate, filii hominum. 3 Etenim in corde iniquitates operamini; in terra injustitias manus vestræ concinnant. 4 Alienati sunt peccatores a vulva; erraverunt ab utero: locuti sunt falsa. 5 Furor illis secundum similitudinem serpentis, sicut aspidis surdæ et obturantis aures suas, 6 quæ non exaudiet vocem incantantium, et venefici incantantis sapienter. 7 Deus conteret dentes eorum in ore ipsorum; molas leonum confringet Dominus. 8 Ad nihilum devenient tamquam aqua decurrens; intendit arcum suum donec infirmentur. 9 Sicut cera quæ fluit auferentur; supercecidit ignis, et non viderunt solem. 10 Priusquam intelligerent spinæ vestræ rhamnum, sicut viventes sic in ira absorbet eos. 11 Lætabitur justus cum viderit vindictam; manus suas lavabit in sanguine peccatoris. 12 Et dicet homo: Si utique est fructus justo, utique est Deus judicans eos in terra. |
