Psalms 82

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

Salamo nataon’ i Asafa.

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

Mandra-pahoviana no hitsarànareo tsy marina ka ihenaranareo maso ny ratsy fanahy? (Sela)

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

Alaharo ny tenin’ ny mahantra sy ny kamboty; omeo rariny ny ory sy ny malahelo;

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

Vonjeo ny mahantra sy ny malahelo; afaho amin’ ny tanan’ ny ratsy fanahy izy.

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

Tsy mahalala na mahazo an-tsaina ireny; ao amin’ ny maizina no andehanany; mihorohoro ny fanambanin’ ny tany rehetra.

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

Hoy izaho: Andriamanitra ianareo, ary zanaky ny Avo Indrindra ianareo rehetra;

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

Kanjo ho faty tahaka ny olona ihany ianareo, ary samy ho lavo tahaka ny anankiray amin’ ny lehibe.

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

Mitsangàna, Andriamanitra ô, tsarao ny tany; fa Hianao no handova ny firenena rehetra.
