Psalms 82

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

Khawsa ing ak thlangkqeng ak cun ce hqui a sawi nawh; “Khawsa” khqi anglak li awh awi deng hy.

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

Amak thym ce ityk dy awh nu naming dyih pyi nawh thlakchekhqi a haai ce iqyt dy nu nami toek kaw?

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

Tha amak awm ingkaw pa amak ta thlangkhqi ce qeet na unawh; khawdengkhqi ingkaw ak khuikhakhqi a huh tyng ce huh sak uh.

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

Tha amak awmkhqi ingkaw ak voethlauhkhqi ce hul unawh; thlakche a kut khui awhkawng hul lah uh.

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

Kaw awm am sim uhy, zaaksimnaak awm am ta uhy. Than khuiawh qoe unawh; deklai ang dyih naak ing thyn nawh tlai hy.

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

Kai ing, nang taw khawsakhqi na awm uhyk ti.” Nangmih taw sawsang soeih a cakhqi na awm uhyk ti.”

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

Cehlai thlanghqing amyihna ni na thih hly lawt hy; ukkung changkhqi amyihna ni naming tluk hly lawt hy,

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

Aw Khawsa, tho nawh khawmdek ve awi deng lah, kawtih pilnam thlangkhqi ve nang a qo ak pangkhqi na ni ami awm.
