Psalms 82

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

Bog stoji v skupnosti mogočnih, sodi med bogovi.

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

»Doklej boste nepravično sodili in sprejemali zunanjost zlobnih? (Sela)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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