Psalms 82

1 A psalm of Asaph. God stands in the midst of his great assembly to judge among the gods.

Zabbuli ya Asafu. Katonda akubiriza olukiiko lwe olukulu olw’omu ggulu, ng’alamula bakatonda.

2 How long will you make unfair judgments and show favoritism to the wicked? (Selah)

Mulituusa ddi okusala emisango n’obukuusa, nga musalira abanafu?

3 Defend the poor and orphans; support the rights of those who are oppressed and suffering.

Abanafu n’abatalina bakitaabwe mubalamulenga mu bwenkanya; abaavu n’abanyigirizibwa mubayambenga mu bwenkanya.

4 Rescue the poor and those unable to help themselves; save them from the clutches of evil people.

Mulwanirire abatalina maanyi n’abali mu kwetaaga, mubawonye; mubanunule nga mubaggya mu mikono gy’ababi.

5 They don't have any wisdom; they live in the dark; the foundations of the earth are shaken.

Tebalina kye bamanyi, era tebategeera. Batambulira mu kizikiza; emisingi gy’ensi gyonna ginyeenyezebwa.

6 I say, “You are gods; all of you are children of the Most High.

Njogedde nti, Muli bakatonda, era mwenna muli baana b’oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo.

7 But you will die like any human being, you will fall like any other leader.”

“Naye mugenda kufa ng’abantu obuntu; muliggwaawo ng’abafuzi abalala bonna bwe baggwaawo.”

8 Stand up, Lord, and judge the earth, for all the nations belong to you.

Ogolokoke, Ayi Katonda, olamule ensi; kubanga amawanga gonna gago.
