Psalms 82

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

Pisarema raAsafi. Mwari anogara paungano huru; anotonga pakati pa“vamwari” achiti,

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

“Muchasvika riniko muchirwira vasakarurama uye muchisanangura vanhu vakaipa? Sera

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

Tongai mhaka dzavasina simba nenherera; chengetedzai kodzero dzavarombo navakadzvinyirirwa.

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

Nunurai vasina simba navanoshayiwa; varwirei paruoko rwowakaipa.

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

“Havana chavanoziva, havana chavanonzwisisa. Vanongofamba-famba murima; nheyo dzose dzenyika dzinozungunuswa.

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

“Ndakati, ‘Muri vamwari; imi mose muri vanakomana veWokumusoro-soro.’

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

Asi muchafa savanhuwo zvavo; muchawa savatongi vose.”

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

Simukai, imi Mwari, mutonge nyika, nokuti ndudzi dzose inhaka yenyu.
