Saam 82

1 Asaph ih Saam laa. Sithaw loe thacak kaminawk salakah angdoet; sithawnawk salakah lokcaek.

[A Psalm by Asaph.] God presides in the assembly of God. He judges among the gods.

2 Nangcae loe kasae kaminawk to nang sak o haih moe, katoeng ai ah nasetto maw lok na caek o han vop? (Selah)

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

3 Amtang kami hoi ampa tawn ai kaminawk to abom oh; amtang kami hoi patangkhang kaminawk khaeah toenghaih hoiah lokcaek ah.

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

4 Amtang kami hoi kangaih kaminawk to pahnawt hmah; kasae kami ban thung hoiah pahlong ah.

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

5 Nihcae loe tidoeh panoek o ai, panoek thaihaih doeh tawn o ai; kaving thungah amkaeh o; long ohhaih ahmuennawk boih loe cak ai.

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

6 Kai mah, Nangcae loe long sithaw ah na oh o; nangcae loe Kasang koek ih caa ah na oh o, tiah ka thuih.

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

7 Toe nangcae loe kaminawk baktiah na dueh o ueloe, ukkung minawk kalah baktiah ni nam tim o toeng tih.

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

8 Aw Sithaw, angthawk ah loe, long hae lokcaek ah; long kaminawk boih loe nang ih qawktoep kami ah ni oh o.

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