Masalimo 82

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

A Psalm by Asaph. God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.

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

“How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” (Selah)

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

“Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

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

Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”

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

They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

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

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

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

Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.”

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

Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.
