Psalms 82

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

Nzembo ya Azafi. Nzambe atelemi kati na lisanga na Ye, azali kokata makambo kati na banzambe.

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

Kino tango nini bokokata makambo na bosembo te mpe bokokotela bato mabe?

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

Bolongisa moto oyo azangi makasi mpe mwana etike, bokata likambo ya moto ya mawa mpe ya mobola;

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

bopesa bonsomi na moto oyo azangi makasi mpe na mobola, bokangola bango wuta na maboko ya bato mabe.

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

Bazangi boyebi mpe bososoli, bazali koyengayenga kati na molili; miboko nyonso ya mokili ezali koningana.

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

Nalobaki: « Bozali banzambe, bozali bino nyonso bana ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo! »

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

Nzokande, bokufaka lokola bato nyonso mpe bokweyaka lokola bakambi.

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

Nzambe, telema, sambisa mokili; pamba te bikolo nyonso ezali libula na Yo.
