المَزامِير 82

١ 1 مَزْمُورٌ لآسَافَ. اللهُ يَتَرَأَّسُ سَاحَةَ قَضَائِهِ، وَعَلَى القُضَاةِ يُصْدِرُ حُكْماً.

A Melody of Asaph. God, hath taken his place in the august assembly, In the midst of the gods, will he judge.

٢ 2 حَتَّى مَتَى تَقْضُونَ بِالظُّلْمِ وَتَنْحَازُونَ إِلَى الأَشْرَارِ؟

How long will ye judge perversely, And, the countenances of the lawless, uplift? (Selah)

٣ 3 احْكُمُوا لِلذَّلِيلِ وَالْيَتِيمِ. وَأَنْصِفُوا الْمِسْكِينَ وَالْبَائِسَ.

Vindicate the weak and the fatherless, The oppressed and the poor, see righted;

٤ 4 أَنْقِذُوا الْمِسْكِينَ وَالْفَقِيرَ؛ أَنْقِذُوهُمَا مِنْ قَبْضَةِ الأَشْرَارِ.

Deliver the weak and the needy, Out of the hand of the lawless, make rescue.

٥ 5 هُمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَعْرِفَةٍ وَفَهْمٍ، يَتَمَشَّوْنَ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ وَتَتَزَعْزَعُ أُسُسُ الأَرْضِ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ الْجَوْرِ.

They know not, neither can they perceive, In darkness, they wander, All the foundations of the earth do shake.

٦ 6 أَنَا قُلْتُ: «إِنَّكُمْ آلِهَةٌ، وَجَمِيعَكُمْ بَنُو الْعَلِيِّ.

I, said, Gods, ye are, Yea, sons of the Highest, are ye all;

٧ 7 لَكِنَّكُمْ سَتَمُوتُونَ كَالْبَشَرِ، وَتَنْتَهِي حَيَاتُكُمْ مِثْلَ كُلِّ الرُّؤَسَاءِ».

But indeed, like the earth-born, shall ye die! And, like one of the princes, shall ye fall!

٨ 8 قُمْ يَا اللهُ قُمْ. دِنِ الأَرْضَ، لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تَمْتَلِكُ الأُمَمَ بِأَسْرِهَا.

Arise! O God, judge thou the earth, For, thou, wilt inherit all the nations.
