Saam 82

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

“A psalm of Asaph.” God standeth in God's assembly, He judgeth in the midst of 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 ye judge unjustly, And favor the cause of the wicked? (Pause)

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

Defend the poor and the fatherless; Do justice to the wretched and the needy!

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

Deliver the poor and the destitute; Save them from 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 are without knowledge and without understanding; They walk in darkness: Therefore all the foundations of the land 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 have said, Ye are gods, And all of you children of the Most High;

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

But ye shall die like men, And fall like the rest of the princes.”

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

Arise, O God! judge the earth! For all the nations are thy possession.
