Psalms 82

1 A Psalm of Asaph. God presides in the divine assembly; He renders judgment among the gods:

Salimo la Asafu. Mulungu akutsogolera msonkhano waukulu; Iye akuweruza pakati pa “milungu.”

2 “How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked?

“Mudzateteza osalungama mpaka liti, ndi kukondera anthu oyipa?

3 Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.

Tetezani anthu ofowoka ndi amasiye; mukhazikitse ufulu wa anthu osauka ndi ozunzika.

4 Rescue the weak and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.

Landitsani anthu ofowoka ndi osowa; apulumutseni mʼdzanja la anthu oyipa.

5 They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

“Iwo sadziwa kanthu, sazindikira kalikonse. Amayendayenda mu mdima; maziko onse a dziko lapansi agwedezeka.

6 I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’

“Ndinati, ‘Inu ndinu Mulungu, nonsenu ndinu ana a Wammwambamwamba.’

7 But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall.”

Koma mudzafa ngati anthu wamba; mudzagwa ngati wolamula wina aliyense.”

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your inheritance.

Dzukani Inu Mulungu, weruzani dziko lapansi, pakuti mayiko onse ndi cholowa chanu.
