Tingtoeng 82

1 Asaph kah Tingtoenglung Pathen tah Pathen kah hlangboel khuiah pai tih pathen rhoek lakli ah lai a tloek.

God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the deities.

2 Me hil nim dumlai na tang sak uh vetih halang rhoek kah maelhmai na dan uh ve? (Selah)

“How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

3 Tattloel neh cadah te laitloek pah lamtah mangdaeng neh aka vawtthoek te tang sak.

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

4 Tattloel neh khodaeng te hlawt lamtah halang rhoek kut khui lamkah huul lah.

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

5 Tamyin khuiah pongpa uh tih diklai kah a yung boeih a tuen khaw ming uh pawt tih yakming uh pawh.

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

6 Nangmih tah pathen rhoek neh Khohni ca rhoek ni. Nangmih boeih taengah kamah loh ka thui coeng.

I said, “You are elohim ·judges, gods·, all of you are sons of haElyon [the Most High].

7 Tedae hlang bangla na duek uh vetih mangpa pakhat bangla na cungku uh ni.

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

8 Namtom rhoek boeih te namah loh na pang coeng dongah Pathen aw thoo lamtah diklai he laitloek thil laeh.

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