Masalimo 82

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

A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

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

How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

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

Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

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

Deliver the poor and needy: rid [them] out of the hand of the wicked.

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

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

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

I have said, Ye [are] gods; and all of you [are] children of the most High.

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

But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

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

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