Psalms 82

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

Nkunga Asafi. Nzambi telimini va lukutukunu lunneni. Wulembo vani nzengolo va khatitsika “zinzambi”.

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

Nate thangu mbi luela nuaninanga mutu kambulu wusonga ayi luela monisinanga thalu yi zizi kuidi batu bambimbi e?

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

Nuanina mutu wulebakana ayi muana wusana. Luvanga malulama kuidi nsukami ayi kuidi mutu weti yamusu.

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

Kulanu mutu wulebakana ayi nsukami; bika luba vukisa mu mioko mi batu bambimbi.

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

Basi zaba kadi diambu ko ayi basudikanga kadi diambu ko; Mu tombi beti diatila; zifundasio zioso zi ntoto zilembo nikuka.

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

Minu ndituba: “luidi zinzambi ayi beno boso luidi bana ba Nzambi yizangama.”

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

Vayi luela fua banga batu boso, luela bua banga woso kuandi nyadi.

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

Telama, a Nzambi, sambisa ntoto! Bila makanda moso madi kiuka kiaku.
