Psalms 82

1 God stands in the congregation of God. He judges among the gods.

Asaf ƒe ha. Mawu nɔ zi me na takpekpe gã la, eye wòdrɔ̃ ʋɔnu le “mawuwo” dome.

2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

“Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi miaʋli ame baɖa la ta, eye miatso afia ade ame vɔ̃ɖi la dzi?” (Sela)

3 Judge the poor man and the orphan. Do justice to the afflicted and destitute man.

“Miʋli ame gblɔewo kple tsyɔ̃eviwo ta, eye miwɔ dɔmenyo na hiãtɔwo kple ame siwo wote ɖe to.

4 Rescue the poor and needy man. Deliver from the hand of the wicked man.

Mixɔ na ame gblɔewo kple hiãtɔwo, eye miɖe wo tso ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe asi me.

5 They know not, nor do they understand. They walk to and fro in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

“Womenya naneke o, womese naneke gɔme o. Wole zɔzɔm le blukɔ me, eye anyigba ƒe agunuwo katã ʋuʋu.

6 I said, Ye are gods, and all of you sons of the Most High.

“Megblɔ be, ‘Mawuwoe mienye; mi katã mienye Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe viŋutsuwo’,

7 Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.

gake miaku abe amegbetɔwo ko ene eye miatsi aʋa abe fia ɖe sia ɖe ko ene.”

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth, for thou shall inherit all the nations.

O! Mawu, tso, eye nàdrɔ̃ ʋɔnu anyigba la elabena dukɔwo katã nye wò domenyinu.
