Psalms 82

1 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

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

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

“Muchasvika riniko muchirwira vasakarurama uye muchisanangura vanhu vakaipa? Sera

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

Tongai mhaka dzavasina simba nenherera; chengetedzai kodzero dzavarombo navakadzvinyirirwa.

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

Nunurai vasina simba navanoshayiwa; varwirei paruoko rwowakaipa.

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

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

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

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

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

Asi muchafa savanhuwo zvavo; muchawa savatongi vose.”

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

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