Masalimo 82

1 Salimo la Asafu. Mulungu akutsogolera msonkhano waukulu; Iye akuweruza pakati pa “milungu.”

A Psalm of Asaph. God has stood in the synagogue of gods, but, in their midst, he decides between gods.

2 “Mudzateteza osalungama mpaka liti, ndi kukondera anthu oyipa?

How long will you judge unjustly and favor the faces of sinners?

3 Tetezani anthu ofowoka ndi amasiye; mukhazikitse ufulu wa anthu osauka ndi ozunzika.

Judge for the indigent and the orphan. Do justice to the humble and the poor.

4 Landitsani anthu ofowoka ndi osowa; apulumutseni mʼdzanja la anthu oyipa.

Rescue the poor, and free the needy from the hand of the sinner.

5 “Iwo sadziwa kanthu, sazindikira kalikonse. Amayendayenda mu mdima; maziko onse a dziko lapansi agwedezeka.

They did not know and did not understand. They wander in darkness. All the foundations of the earth will be moved.

6 “Ndinati, ‘Inu ndinu Mulungu, nonsenu ndinu ana a Wammwambamwamba.’

I said: You are gods, and all of you are sons of the Most High.

7 Koma mudzafa ngati anthu wamba; mudzagwa ngati wolamula wina aliyense.”

But you will die like men, and you will fall just like one of the princes.

8 Dzukani Inu Mulungu, weruzani dziko lapansi, pakuti mayiko onse ndi cholowa chanu.

Rise up, O God. Judge the earth. For you will inherit it with all the nations.
