Psalms 82

1 A Psalm for Asaph. God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst [of them] will judge gods.

Nzembo ya Azafi. Nzambe atelemi kati na lisanga na Ye, azali kokata makambo kati na banzambe.

2 How long will you judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? (Pause)

Kino tango nini bokokata makambo na bosembo te mpe bokokotela bato mabe?

3 Judge the orphan and poor: do justice to the low and needy.

Bolongisa moto oyo azangi makasi mpe mwana etike, bokata likambo ya moto ya mawa mpe ya mobola;

4 Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor out of the hand of the sinner.

bopesa bonsomi na moto oyo azangi makasi mpe na mobola, bokangola bango wuta na maboko ya bato mabe.

5 They know not, nor understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.

Bazangi boyebi mpe bososoli, bazali koyengayenga kati na molili; miboko nyonso ya mokili ezali koningana.

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

Nalobaki: « Bozali banzambe, bozali bino nyonso bana ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo! »

7 But you die as men, and fall as one of the princes.

Nzokande, bokufaka lokola bato nyonso mpe bokweyaka lokola bakambi.

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.

Nzambe, telema, sambisa mokili; pamba te bikolo nyonso ezali libula na Yo.
