Masalimo 82

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

A psalm of Asaph. God has taken his stand in the divine assembly: in the midst of the gods he holds judgment.

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

“How long will you crookedly judge, and favor the wicked? (Selah)

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

Do right by the weak and the orphan, acquit the innocent poor.

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

Rescue the weak and the needy, save them from the hand of the wicked.

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

“They have neither knowledge nor insight, in darkness they walk to and fro, while the earth’s foundations totter.

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

It was I who appointed you gods, children of the Most High all of you.

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

Yet like mortals you will surely die, you will fall like any prince.”

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

Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all nations are yours by inheritance.
