Psalms 82

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

Pisarema raAsafi. Mwari anogara paungano huru; anotonga pakati pa“vamwari” achiti,

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

“Muchasvika riniko muchirwira vasakarurama uye muchisanangura vanhu vakaipa? Sera

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

Tongai mhaka dzavasina simba nenherera; chengetedzai kodzero dzavarombo navakadzvinyirirwa.

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

Nunurai vasina simba navanoshayiwa; varwirei paruoko rwowakaipa.

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

“Havana chavanoziva, havana chavanonzwisisa. Vanongofamba-famba murima; nheyo dzose dzenyika dzinozungunuswa.

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

“Ndakati, ‘Muri vamwari; imi mose muri vanakomana veWokumusoro-soro.’

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

Asi muchafa savanhuwo zvavo; muchawa savatongi vose.”

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

Simukai, imi Mwari, mutonge nyika, nokuti ndudzi dzose inhaka yenyu.
