Psalms 82

1 A Psalme committed to Aspah. God standeth in the assemblie of gods: hee iudgeth among gods.

Ihubo lika-Asafi UNkulunkulu usesihlalweni emhlanganweni omkhulu; nguye owahlulelayo phakathi kwabo “nkulunkulu”:

2 How long wil ye iudge vniustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

“Koze kube nini livikela ababi na libonakala lithanda izigangi?

3 Doe right to the poore and fatherlesse: doe iustice to the poore and needie.

Lamlelani ababuthakathaka lezintandane; melani amalungelo abayanga labahlukuluzwayo.

4 Deliuer the poore and needie: saue them from the hand of the wicked.

Lamlelani ababuthakathaka labaswelayo; bephuleni esandleni sababi.

5 They knowe not and vnderstand nothing: they walke in darkenes, albeit all the foundations of the earth be mooued.

Onkulunkulu kabazi lutho, kabazwisisi lutho. Bayantula emnyameni; zonke izisekelo zomhlaba zixukuxiwe.

6 I haue said, Ye are gods, and ye all are children of the most High.

Ngathi, ‘Lingo “nkulunkulu”; lonke lingamadodana akhe oPhezukonke.’

7 But ye shall die as a man, and yee princes, shall fall like others.

Kodwa lizakufa lingabantu nje; lizakuwa njengamanye amakhosi wonke.”

8 O God, arise, therefore iudge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherite all nations.

Phakama, Oh Nkulunkulu, yahlulela umhlaba, ngoba zonke izizwe ziyilifa lakho.
