Psalms 82

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

Pisarema raAsafi. Mwari anogara paungano huru; anotonga pakati pa“vamwari” achiti,

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

“Muchasvika riniko muchirwira vasakarurama uye muchisanangura vanhu vakaipa? Sera

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

Tongai mhaka dzavasina simba nenherera; chengetedzai kodzero dzavarombo navakadzvinyirirwa.

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

Nunurai vasina simba navanoshayiwa; varwirei paruoko rwowakaipa.

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

“Havana chavanoziva, havana chavanonzwisisa. Vanongofamba-famba murima; nheyo dzose dzenyika dzinozungunuswa.

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

“Ndakati, ‘Muri vamwari; imi mose muri vanakomana veWokumusoro-soro.’

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

Asi muchafa savanhuwo zvavo; muchawa savatongi vose.”

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

Simukai, imi Mwari, mutonge nyika, nokuti ndudzi dzose inhaka yenyu.
