Psalms 82

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

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

2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of 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 fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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