Psalms 82

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

Asaf dwom. Onyankopɔn di ɔhene wɔ ɔsoro asafo mu; ɔbu atɛn wɔ “anyame” mu.

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

“Wobɛbɔ wɔn a wɔnteneɛ ho ban na woayɛ animhwɛ ama amumuyɛfoɔ akɔsi da bɛn?

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

Monka mmɔborɔfoɔ ne nwisiaa asɛm mma wɔn; mommɔ ahiafoɔ ne wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so yiedie ho ban.

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

Monnye ɔbrɛfoɔ ne ohiani; monnye wɔn mfiri amumuyɛfoɔ nsam.

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

“Wɔnnim hwee, na wɔnte hwee ase. Wɔkyinkyini wɔ esum mu; na asase fapem nyinaa woso.

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

“Mekaa sɛ, ‘Moyɛ “anyame”; mo nyinaa yɛ Ɔsorosoroni no mma.’

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

Nanso, mobɛwuwu sɛ nnipa pɛ; na moahwe ase sɛ sodifoɔ biara.”

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

Ao Onyankopɔn, sɔre na bɛbu ewiase atɛn; ɛfiri sɛ amanaman nyinaa yɛ wo dea.
