< Tingtoeng 82 >
1 [Asaph kah Tingtoenglung] Pathen tah Pathen kah hlangboel khuiah pai tih pathen rhoek lakli ah lai a tloek.
God gathers all the [rulers and judges who think they are] gods for a meeting in heaven; and he tells them that he has decided this:
2 Me hil nim dumlai na tang sak uh vetih halang rhoek kah maelhmai na dan uh ve? (Selah)
“You must [RHQ] stop judging [people] unfairly; you must no longer make decisions that favor wicked [people]!
3 Tattloel neh cadah te laitloek pah lamtah mangdaeng neh aka vawtthoek te tang sak.
You must defend [people who are] poor and orphans; you must act fairly toward those who are needy and those who have no one to help them.
4 Tattloel neh khodaeng te hlawt lamtah halang rhoek kut khui lamkah huul lah.
Rescue them from the power [MTY] of evil [people] [DOU]!”
5 Tamyin khuiah pongpa uh tih diklai kah a yung boeih a tuen khaw ming uh pawt tih yakming uh pawh.
[Those rulers] do not know or understand anything! They are very corrupt/evil, and [as a result of their corrupt/evil behavior], [it is as though] the foundation of the world is being shaken!
6 Nangmih tah pathen rhoek neh Khohni ca rhoek ni. Nangmih boeih taengah kamah loh ka thui coeng.
I [the all-powerful God, previously] said to them, “You think you are gods! [It is as though] you are all my sons,
7 Tedae hlang bangla na duek uh vetih mangpa pakhat bangla na cungku uh ni.
but you will die like people do; your lives will end, like the lives of all rulers end.”
8 Namtom rhoek boeih te namah loh na pang coeng dongah Pathen aw thoo lamtah diklai he laitloek thil laeh.
God, arise and judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth, because all the people-groups belong to you!
