Sam 82

1 Kathutkung: Asaph Cathut teh cathutnaw a kamkhuengnae koe a kangdue teh, cathutnaw lawk a ceng.

A psalm of Asaph. God stands in the midst of his great assembly to judge among the gods.

2 Nâtotouh ne kânging hoeh lah lawk na ceng awh vaiteh, tamikathoutnaw hah na kapek awh han vai. (Selah)

How long will you make unfair judgments and show favoritism to the wicked? (Selah)

3 Mathoe hoi naranaw hanlah lawkceng pouh nateh, runae kâhmonaw hoi kavoutnaw hah kânging lah lawkceng awh.

Defend the poor and orphans; support the rights of those who are oppressed and suffering.

4 Mathoe hoi kavoutnaw hah rasat awh nateh, tamikathoutnaw kut dawk hoi tâcawt sak awh,

Rescue the poor and those unable to help themselves; save them from the clutches of evil people.

5 Panuek awh hoeh, thai panuek awh hoeh, hmonae koe a kâva awh teh, talaidu pueng teh a kâhuet.

They don't have any wisdom; they live in the dark; the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 Nangmouh teh cathutnaw doeh, Lathueng Poung e canaw lah na o awh.

I say, “You are gods; all of you are children of the Most High.

7 Hatei, tami patetlah na due han, bawi thung dawk e buet touh patetlah na rawp awh han.

But you will die like any human being, you will fall like any other leader.”

8 Oe Cathut thaw haw, talai heh lawkceng haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, miphun pueng heh râw lah na pang han.

Stand up, Lord, and judge the earth, for all the nations belong to you.
