< 詩篇 82 >
1 詠【警告為民長者】阿撒夫的詩歌。 天主親臨眾神的會議,在眾神之中主張公理:
A Psalm for Asaph. God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst [of them] will judge gods.
How long will you judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? (Pause)
3 你們應保護受苦的人和孤兒,為貧窮與可憐的人主持正義。
Judge the orphan and poor: do justice to the low and needy.
Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor out of the hand of the sinner.
5 他們原本無知無識,在暗中摸索,卻把大地的一切根基動搖。
They know not, nor understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.
6 我親自說過:你們都是神,眾人都是至高者的子民。
I have said, You are gods; and all [of you] children of the Most High.
7 但是你們必要死亡像眾人一樣,必要消失像任何一位王侯一樣。
But you die as men, and fall as one of the princes.
8 天主,求您起來審判下土,因為萬國都應由您佔據。
Arise, O God, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.
