Sam 82

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

[A Psalm by Asaph.] God presides in the assembly of God. He judges 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 judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?" (Selah)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I said, "You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.

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

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

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

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