Psalms 82

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

Bog stoji v skupnosti mogočnih, sodi med bogovi.

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

»Doklej boste nepravično sodili in sprejemali zunanjost zlobnih? (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.

Branite revne in osirotele, ravnajte pravično prizadetim in pomoči potrebnim.

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

Osvobodite uboge in pomoči potrebne, odstranite jih iz roke zlobnih.«

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

Ne vedo niti ne bodo razumeli, hodijo v temi. Vsi temelji zemlje so izven naravnega reda.

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

Rekel sem: »Vi ste bogovi in vsi izmed vas ste otroci Najvišjega.

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

Vendar boste umrli kakor ljudje in padli kakor kdo izmed princev.«

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

Vstani, oh Bog, sodi zemljo, kajti ti boš podedoval vse narode.
