Psalms 82

1 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of God; in the midst of the judges He judgeth:

Zaburi ya Asafu. Mungu anaongoza kusanyiko kuu, anatoa hukumu miongoni mwa “miungu”:

2 'How long will ye judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

“Hata lini utaendelea kuwatetea wasio haki na kuonyesha upendeleo kwa waovu?

3 Judge the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

Teteeni wanyonge na yatima, tunzeni haki za maskini na walioonewa.

4 Rescue the poor and needy; deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

Mwokoeni mnyonge na mhitaji, wakomboeni kutoka mkononi mwa mwovu.

5 They know not, neither do they understand; they go about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are moved.

“Hawajui lolote, hawaelewi lolote. Wanatembea gizani; misingi yote ya dunia imetikisika.

6 I said: Ye are godlike beings, and all of you sons of the Most High.

“Nilisema, ‘Ninyi ni “miungu”; ninyi nyote ni wana wa Aliye Juu Sana.’

7 Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.'

Lakini mtakufa kama wanadamu wa kawaida; mtaanguka kama mtawala mwingine yeyote.”

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; for Thou shalt possess all nations.

Ee Mungu, inuka uihukumu nchi, kwa kuwa mataifa yote ni urithi wako.
