Psalms 82

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

Zaburi ya Asafu. Mungu anaongoza kusanyiko kuu, anatoa hukumu miongoni mwa “miungu”:

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

“Hata lini utaendelea kuwatetea wasio haki na kuonyesha upendeleo kwa waovu?

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

Teteeni wanyonge na yatima, tunzeni haki za maskini na walioonewa.

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

Mwokoeni mnyonge na mhitaji, wakomboeni kutoka mkononi mwa mwovu.

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

“Hawajui lolote, hawaelewi lolote. Wanatembea gizani; misingi yote ya dunia imetikisika.

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

“Nilisema, ‘Ninyi ni “miungu”; ninyi nyote ni wana wa Aliye Juu Sana.’

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

Lakini mtakufa kama wanadamu wa kawaida; mtaanguka kama mtawala mwingine yeyote.”

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

Ee Mungu, inuka uihukumu nchi, kwa kuwa mataifa yote ni urithi wako.
