Psalms 82

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

Nzembo ya Azafi. Nzambe atelemi kati na lisanga na Ye, azali kokata makambo kati na banzambe.

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

Kino tango nini bokokata makambo na bosembo te mpe bokokotela bato mabe?

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

Bolongisa moto oyo azangi makasi mpe mwana etike, bokata likambo ya moto ya mawa mpe ya mobola;

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

bopesa bonsomi na moto oyo azangi makasi mpe na mobola, bokangola bango wuta na maboko ya bato mabe.

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

Bazangi boyebi mpe bososoli, bazali koyengayenga kati na molili; miboko nyonso ya mokili ezali koningana.

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

Nalobaki: « Bozali banzambe, bozali bino nyonso bana ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo! »

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

Nzokande, bokufaka lokola bato nyonso mpe bokweyaka lokola bakambi.

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

Nzambe, telema, sambisa mokili; pamba te bikolo nyonso ezali libula na Yo.
