Psalms 82

1 A Psalm. Of Asaph. God is in the meeting-place of God; he is judging 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 go on judging falsely, having respect for the persons of evil-doers? (Selah)

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

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

Gbapụtanụ ndị na-adịghị ike na ndị nọ na mkpa; napụta ha site nʼaka ndị ajọ omume.

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

Ha amaghị ihe ọbụla, ha aghọtaghị ihe ọbụla. Ha na-ejegharị nʼọchịchịrị; ntọala niile nke ụwa na-ama jijiji.

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

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

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

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

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

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