Saam 82

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

A psalm of Asaph. God stands in the divine assembly; in the midst of the gods he renders judgment.

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 favoritism 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 poor and fatherless; maintain the rights of the afflicted and destitute.

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

Rescue the poor and needy; take 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 neither know nor understand; they wander around in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth crumble.

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, and all of you 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 will die like men and fall like one 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, God, judge the earth, for you have an inheritance in all the nations.
