Psalms 82

1 A Psalm by Asaph. God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.

Abụ Ọma Asaf. Chineke na-ewere ọnọdụ ịchị isi nʼetiti ọgbakọ dị ukwuu; ọ na-ekpebi ikpe nʼetiti chi niile.

2 “How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” (Selah)

Ruo ole mgbe ka unu ga-anọgide na-ekpe ikpe na-ezighị ezi? Ruo ole mgbe ka unu ga na-egosi ndị ajọ omume ihuọma? (Sela)

3 “Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

Kperenụ ndị na-adịghị ike na ndị na-enweghị nna ikpe ziri ezi; hụnụ na ndị ogbenye na ndị a na-emegbu nwetara ihe ruuru ha.

4 Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”

Gbapụtanụ ndị na-adịghị ike na ndị nọ na mkpa; napụta ha site nʼaka ndị ajọ omume.

5 They do not know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

Ha amaghị ihe ọbụla, ha aghọtaghị ihe ọbụla. Ha na-ejegharị nʼọchịchịrị; ntọala niile nke ụwa na-ama jijiji.

6 I said, “You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.

“Asịrị m, ‘Unu bụ “chi,” unu niile bụ ụmụ ndị ikom nke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu.’

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

Ma unu ga-anwụ ọnwụ dịka mmadụ ndị ọzọ; unu ga-ada dịka ndị ọchịchị ọzọ.”

8 Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.

O Chineke, bilie kpee ụwa ikpe, nʼihi na mba niile bụ ihe nketa gị.
