< Psalms 82 >
1 A Psalm for Asaph. God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst [of them] will judge gods.
Mungu amesimama katika kusanyiko la mbinguni; katikati ya miungu anahukumu.
2 How long will you judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? (Pause)
Hata lini mtahukumu bila haki na kuonesha upendeleo kwa waovu? (Selah)
3 Judge the orphan and poor: do justice to the low and needy.
Wateteeni maskini na yatima; dumisheni haki kwa aliyetaabishwa na fukara.
4 Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor out of the hand of the sinner.
Muokoeni maskini na muhitaji; watoeni mkononi mwa waovu.
5 They know not, nor understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.
Hawajui wala hawaelewi; hutembea gizani; misingi yote ya nchi imebomoka.
6 I have said, You are gods; and all [of you] children of the Most High.
Mimi nilisema, “Ninyi ni miungu, na ninyi nyote wana wa Mungu aliye Juu.
7 But you die as men, and fall as one of the princes.
Hata hivyo mtakufa kama wanadamu na mtaanguka kama mmoja wa wakuu.”
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.
Uinuke, Ee Mungu, uihukumu nchi, maana unaurithi katika mataifa yote.
