Masalimo 82

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

A psalm for Asaph. God hath stood in the congregation of gods: and being in the midst of them he judgeth gods.

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

How long will you judge unjustly: and accept the persons of the wicked?

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

Judge for the needy and fatherless: do justice to the humble and the poor.

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

Rescue the poor; and deliver the needy out of the hand of the sinner.

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

They have not known nor understood: they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be moved.

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

I have said: You are gods and all of you the sons of the most High.

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

But you like men shall die: and shall fall like one of the princes.

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

Arise, O God, judge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherit among all the nations.
