Masalimo 82

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

A Psalm for Asaph. God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst [of them] will judge gods.

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

How long will you judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? (Pause)

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

Judge the orphan and poor: do justice to the low and needy.

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

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

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

They know not, nor understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.

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

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

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

But you die as men, and fall as one of the princes.

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

Arise, O God, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.
