اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 82

١ 1 مَزْمُورٌ لِآسَافَ ٱللهُ قَائِمٌ فِي مَجْمَعِ ٱللهِ. فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْآلِهَةِ يَقْضِي:

God gathers all the [rulers and judges who think they are] gods for a meeting in heaven; and he tells them that he has decided this:

٢ 2 «حَتَّى مَتَى تَقْضُونَ جَوْرًا وَتَرْفَعُونَ وُجُوهَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ؟ سِلَاهْ.

“You must [RHQ] stop judging [people] unfairly; you must no longer make decisions that favor wicked [people]!

٣ 3 اِقْضُوا لِلذَّلِيلِ وَلِلْيَتِيمِ. أَنْصِفُوا ٱلْمِسْكِينَ وَٱلْبَائِسَ.

You must defend [people who are] poor and orphans; you must act fairly toward those who are needy and those who have no one to help them.

٤ 4 نَجُّوا ٱلْمِسْكِينَ وَٱلْفَقِيرَ. مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ أَنْقِذُوا.

Rescue them from the power [MTY] of evil [people] [DOU]!”

٥ 5 «لَا يَعْلَمُونَ وَلَا يَفْهَمُونَ. فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ يَتَمَشَّوْنَ. تَتَزَعْزَعُ كُلُّ أُسُسِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

[Those rulers] do not know or understand anything! They are very corrupt/evil, and [as a result of their corrupt/evil behavior], [it is as though] the foundation of the world is being shaken!

٦ 6 أَنَا قُلْتُ: إِنَّكُمْ آلِهَةٌ وَبَنُو ٱلْعَلِيِّ كُلُّكُمْ.

I [the all-powerful God, previously] said to them, “You think you are gods! [It is as though] you are all my sons,

٧ 7 لَكِنْ مِثْلَ ٱلنَّاسِ تَمُوتُونَ وَكَأَحَدِ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ تَسْقُطُونَ».

but you will die like people do; your lives will end, like the lives of all rulers end.”

٨ 8 قُمْ يَا ٱللهُ. دِنِ ٱلْأَرْضَ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تَمْتَلِكُ كُلَّ ٱلْأُمَمِ.

God, arise and judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth, because all the people-groups belong to you!
