Psalms 82

1 Elohim standeth in the congregation of El; he judgeth among the elohim.

Asaf dwom. Onyankopɔn di ɔhene wɔ ɔsoro asafo mu; ɔbu atɛn wɔ “anyame” mu.

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

“Wobɛbɔ wɔn a wɔnteneɛ ho ban na woayɛ animhwɛ ama amumuyɛfoɔ akɔsi da bɛn?

3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

Monka mmɔborɔfoɔ ne nwisiaa asɛm mma wɔn; mommɔ ahiafoɔ ne wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so yiedie ho ban.

4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

Monnye ɔbrɛfoɔ ne ohiani; monnye wɔn mfiri amumuyɛfoɔ nsam.

5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

“Wɔnnim hwee, na wɔnte hwee ase. Wɔkyinkyini wɔ esum mu; na asase fapem nyinaa woso.

6 I have said, Ye are elohim; and all of you are children of the most High.

“Mekaa sɛ, ‘Moyɛ “anyame”; mo nyinaa yɛ Ɔsorosoroni no mma.’

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

Nanso, mobɛwuwu sɛ nnipa pɛ; na moahwe ase sɛ sodifoɔ biara.”

8 Arise, O Elohim, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

Ao Onyankopɔn, sɔre na bɛbu ewiase atɛn; ɛfiri sɛ amanaman nyinaa yɛ wo dea.
