Psalms 82

1 “A psalm of Assaph.” God standeth in the congregation of God, in the midst of judges doth he judge.

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

2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and treat with favor the face of the wicked? (Selah)

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

3 Judge uprightly the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and indigent.

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

4 Release the poor and needy: deliver them out of the power of the wicked.

Warra dadhabaa fi rakkattoota baraaraa; harka jalʼootaatiis isaan baasaa.

5 They know not, nor will they understand; in darkness do they walk on: all the foundations of the earth are moved.

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

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

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

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

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

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; for thou wilt possess all the nations.

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