Psalms 82

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

Faarfannaa Asaaf. Waaqni, waldaa waaqotaa gidduu dhaabata; “waaqota” gidduuttis murtii kenna; akkanas jedha:

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

“Isin hamma yoomiitti seera jalʼiftu? Hamma yoomiittis jalʼootaaf dhaabattu?

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

Dadhabdootaa fi ijoollee abbaa hin qabneef murtii qajeelaa kennaa; mirga hiyyeeyyiitii fi cunqurfamtootaas eegsisaa.

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

Warra dadhabaa fi rakkattoota baraaraa; harka jalʼootaatiis isaan baasaa.

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

“Isaan homaa hin beekan; homaa illee hin hubatan. Isaan dukkana keessa jiraatu; hundeen lafaa hundinuu ni raafame.

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

“Anis, ‘Isin, “waaqota;” hundi keessan ilmaan Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii ti’ jedheera.

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

Taʼus isin akkuma namatti ni duutu; akkuma bulchitoota kamii iyyuu ni kuftu.”

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

Yaa Waaqi kaʼi; lafatti muri; sabni hundinuu kan keetiitii.
