Psalms 82

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

Nkunga Asafi. Nzambi telimini va lukutukunu lunneni. Wulembo vani nzengolo va khatitsika “zinzambi”.

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

Nate thangu mbi luela nuaninanga mutu kambulu wusonga ayi luela monisinanga thalu yi zizi kuidi batu bambimbi e?

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

Nuanina mutu wulebakana ayi muana wusana. Luvanga malulama kuidi nsukami ayi kuidi mutu weti yamusu.

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

Kulanu mutu wulebakana ayi nsukami; bika luba vukisa mu mioko mi batu bambimbi.

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

Basi zaba kadi diambu ko ayi basudikanga kadi diambu ko; Mu tombi beti diatila; zifundasio zioso zi ntoto zilembo nikuka.

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

Minu ndituba: “luidi zinzambi ayi beno boso luidi bana ba Nzambi yizangama.”

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

Vayi luela fua banga batu boso, luela bua banga woso kuandi nyadi.

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

Telama, a Nzambi, sambisa ntoto! Bila makanda moso madi kiuka kiaku.
