Psalms 82

1 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the assembly of God, he judgeth among the gods.

Asaf ƒe ha. Mawu nɔ zi me na takpekpe gã la, eye wòdrɔ̃ ʋɔnu le “mawuwo” dome.

2 How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the person of the wicked? (Selah)

“Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi miaʋli ame baɖa la ta, eye miatso afia ade ame vɔ̃ɖi la dzi?” (Sela)

3 Judge the poor and the fatherless, do justice to the afflicted and the destitute;

“Miʋli ame gblɔewo kple tsyɔ̃eviwo ta, eye miwɔ dɔmenyo na hiãtɔwo kple ame siwo wote ɖe to.

4 Rescue the poor and needy, deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

Mixɔ na ame gblɔewo kple hiãtɔwo, eye miɖe wo tso ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe asi me.

5 They know not, neither do they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are moved.

“Womenya naneke o, womese naneke gɔme o. Wole zɔzɔm le blukɔ me, eye anyigba ƒe agunuwo katã ʋuʋu.

6 I have said, Ye are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High;

“Megblɔ be, ‘Mawuwoe mienye; mi katã mienye Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe viŋutsuwo’,

7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

gake miaku abe amegbetɔwo ko ene eye miatsi aʋa abe fia ɖe sia ɖe ko ene.”

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; for thou shalt inherit all the nations.

O! Mawu, tso, eye nàdrɔ̃ ʋɔnu anyigba la elabena dukɔwo katã nye wò domenyinu.
