Zaburi 82

1 Zaburi mar Asaf. Nyasaye osekawo kare e dier chokruok maduongʼ, ongʼado bura e kind “nyiseche.”

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

2 Nyaka karangʼo ma ubiro dhi nyime ka udewo wangʼ joma ok timbegi nikare kendo kudewo wangʼ joma timbegi richo? (Sela)

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

3 Ngʼaduru bura makare ne joma ok nyal kod nyithi kiye, kendo konyuru joma odhier kod joma ok nyal konyore kendgi.

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

4 Resuru joma ok nyal kod joma ochando; golgiuru e lwet joma timbegi richo.

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

5 To gisesiko ka gimemore kendo onge gima gingʼeyo. Giwuotho koni gi koni e mudho; kendo gimiyo mise duto mag piny yiengni.

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

6 “Asenyisou ni, ‘Un “nyiseche;” kendo ni un duto un yawuot Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo.’

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

7 To ubiro tho ka ji ajia; adier ubiro podho mana kaka jatelo moro amora ma ok otangʼ.”

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

8 Aa malo, yaye Nyasaye, ngʼadni piny bura, nimar ogendini duto gin girkeni magi.

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