Psalms 82

1 A Psalm of Asaph. God has stood in the synagogue of gods, but, in their midst, he decides between gods.

Salimo la Asafu. Mulungu akutsogolera msonkhano waukulu; Iye akuweruza pakati pa “milungu.”

2 How long will you judge unjustly and favor the faces of sinners?

“Mudzateteza osalungama mpaka liti, ndi kukondera anthu oyipa?

3 Judge for the indigent and the orphan. Do justice to the humble and the poor.

Tetezani anthu ofowoka ndi amasiye; mukhazikitse ufulu wa anthu osauka ndi ozunzika.

4 Rescue the poor, and free the needy from the hand of the sinner.

Landitsani anthu ofowoka ndi osowa; apulumutseni mʼdzanja la anthu oyipa.

5 They did not know and did not understand. They wander in darkness. All the foundations of the earth will be moved.

“Iwo sadziwa kanthu, sazindikira kalikonse. Amayendayenda mu mdima; maziko onse a dziko lapansi agwedezeka.

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

“Ndinati, ‘Inu ndinu Mulungu, nonsenu ndinu ana a Wammwambamwamba.’

7 But you will die like men, and you will fall just like one of the princes.

Koma mudzafa ngati anthu wamba; mudzagwa ngati wolamula wina aliyense.”

8 Rise up, O God. Judge the earth. For you will inherit it with all the nations.

Dzukani Inu Mulungu, weruzani dziko lapansi, pakuti mayiko onse ndi cholowa chanu.
