Psalms 82

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

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 cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted 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; save them from 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 or understand; they wander in the 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 have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’

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

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

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

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

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