Psalms 82

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

Faarfannaa Asaaf. Waaqni, waldaa waaqotaa gidduu dhaabata; “waaqota” gidduuttis murtii kenna; akkanas jedha:

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

“Isin hamma yoomiitti seera jalʼiftu? Hamma yoomiittis jalʼootaaf dhaabattu?

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

Dadhabdootaa fi ijoollee abbaa hin qabneef murtii qajeelaa kennaa; mirga hiyyeeyyiitii fi cunqurfamtootaas eegsisaa.

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

Warra dadhabaa fi rakkattoota baraaraa; harka jalʼootaatiis isaan baasaa.

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

“Isaan homaa hin beekan; homaa illee hin hubatan. Isaan dukkana keessa jiraatu; hundeen lafaa hundinuu ni raafame.

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

“Anis, ‘Isin, “waaqota;” hundi keessan ilmaan Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii ti’ jedheera.

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

Taʼus isin akkuma namatti ni duutu; akkuma bulchitoota kamii iyyuu ni kuftu.”

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

Yaa Waaqi kaʼi; lafatti muri; sabni hundinuu kan keetiitii.
