Psalms 82

1 A Psalm. Of Asaph. God is in the meeting-place of God; he is judging among the gods.

١ مَزْمُورٌ لِآسَافَ ٱللهُ قَائِمٌ فِي مَجْمَعِ ٱللهِ. فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْآلِهَةِ يَقْضِي:

2 How long will you go on judging falsely, having respect for the persons of evil-doers? (Selah)

٢ «حَتَّى مَتَى تَقْضُونَ جَوْرًا وَتَرْفَعُونَ وُجُوهَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ؟ سِلَاهْ.

3 Give ear to the cause of the poor and the children without fathers; let those who are troubled and in need have their rights.

٣ اِقْضُوا لِلذَّلِيلِ وَلِلْيَتِيمِ. أَنْصِفُوا ٱلْمِسْكِينَ وَٱلْبَائِسَ.

4 Be the saviour of the poor and those who have nothing: take them out of the hand of the evil-doers.

٤ نَجُّوا ٱلْمِسْكِينَ وَٱلْفَقِيرَ. مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ أَنْقِذُوا.

5 They have no knowledge or sense; they go about in the dark: all the bases of the earth are moved.

٥ «لَا يَعْلَمُونَ وَلَا يَفْهَمُونَ. فِي ٱلظُّلْمَةِ يَتَمَشَّوْنَ. تَتَزَعْزَعُ كُلُّ أُسُسِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

6 I said, You are gods; all of you are the sons of the Most High:

٦ أَنَا قُلْتُ: إِنَّكُمْ آلِهَةٌ وَبَنُو ٱلْعَلِيِّ كُلُّكُمْ.

7 But you will come to death like men, falling like one of the rulers of the earth.

٧ لَكِنْ مِثْلَ ٱلنَّاسِ تَمُوتُونَ وَكَأَحَدِ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ تَسْقُطُونَ».

8 Up! O God, come as judge of the earth; for all the nations are your heritage.

٨ قُمْ يَا ٱللهُ. دِنِ ٱلْأَرْضَ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ تَمْتَلِكُ كُلَّ ٱلْأُمَمِ.
