Psalms 82

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

Ko e Saame ʻa ʻAsafi. ‌ʻOku ʻafio ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he fakataha ʻoe kau mālohi; ʻoku ne fakamaau ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua.

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

“ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa mo hoʻomou fakamaau taʻetotonu, pea filifilimānako ki he kakai angahala?” (Sila)

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

“Fakamaau ʻae paea mo e tamai mate: fai angatonu ki he mamahi mo e masiva.

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

Fakahaofi ʻae masiva mo e paea: fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻoe kau angahala.”

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

‌ʻOku ʻikai te nau ʻilo, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau fie ʻilo; ʻoku nau ʻalu pē ʻi he poʻuli: kuo ueʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga kotoa pē ʻo māmani.

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

Naʻaku pehē, “Ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻakimoutolu; pea ko e fānau ʻae Fungani Māʻolunga ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē.

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

Ka temou mate ʻo hangē ko e kau tangata, pea tō ʻo hangē ko e tokotaha ʻoe houʻeiki.”

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

Tuʻu hake, ʻE ʻOtua, fakamaau ʻa māmani: he te ke maʻu ʻae puleʻanga kotoa pē.
