The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Cumque diluxisset, egressus est, et stans dixit ad omnem populum : Justi estis : si ego conjuravi contra dominum meum et interfeci eum, quis percussit omnes hos ?
Septuagint (Swete): καὶ ἐγένετο πρωὶ καὶ ἐξῆλθεν καὶ ἔστη, καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς πάντα τὸν λαόν Δίκαιοι ὑμεῖς, ἰδοὺ ἐγώ εἰμι συνεστράφην ἐπὶ τὸν κύριόν μου καὶ ἀπέκτεινα αὐτόν· καὶ τίς ἐπάταξεν πάντας τούτους;
Hebrew (WLC): וַיְהִ֤י בַבֹּ֨קֶר֙ וַיֵּצֵ֣א וַֽיַּעֲמֹ֔ד וַיֹּ֨אמֶר֙ אֶל כָּל הָעָ֔ם צַדִּקִ֖ים אַתֶּ֑ם הִנֵּ֨ה אֲנִ֜י קָשַׁ֤רְתִּי עַל אֲדֹנִי֙ וָאֶהְרְגֵ֔הוּ וּמִ֥י הִכָּ֖ה אֶת כָּל אֵֽלֶּה

Haydock's commentary

Just executioners of the divine wrath. (Du Hamel)

You know what is right. (Menochius)

You are now in the same predicament with myself. (Haydock)

All the chief men had thus rendered themselves odious to the people, who could not choose them for leaders. He captiously infers, from his astonishing success, (Calmet) that his conduct is pleasing to God. (Menochius)

All the people seeing that so many had armed (Tirinus) against the house of Achab, might conclude that what they did was just. (Haydock)
