Psalms 82

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

Faarfannaa Asaaf. Waaqni, waldaa waaqotaa gidduu dhaabata; “waaqota” gidduuttis murtii kenna; akkanas jedha:

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

“Isin hamma yoomiitti seera jalʼiftu? Hamma yoomiittis jalʼootaaf dhaabattu?

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

Dadhabdootaa fi ijoollee abbaa hin qabneef murtii qajeelaa kennaa; mirga hiyyeeyyiitii fi cunqurfamtootaas eegsisaa.

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

Warra dadhabaa fi rakkattoota baraaraa; harka jalʼootaatiis isaan baasaa.

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

“Isaan homaa hin beekan; homaa illee hin hubatan. Isaan dukkana keessa jiraatu; hundeen lafaa hundinuu ni raafame.

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

“Anis, ‘Isin, “waaqota;” hundi keessan ilmaan Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii ti’ jedheera.

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

Taʼus isin akkuma namatti ni duutu; akkuma bulchitoota kamii iyyuu ni kuftu.”

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

Yaa Waaqi kaʼi; lafatti muri; sabni hundinuu kan keetiitii.
