Psalms 82

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

Zaburi ya Asafu. Mungu anaongoza kusanyiko kuu, anatoa hukumu miongoni mwa “miungu”:

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

“Hata lini utaendelea kuwatetea wasio haki na kuonyesha upendeleo kwa waovu?

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

Teteeni wanyonge na yatima, tunzeni haki za maskini na walioonewa.

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

Mwokoeni mnyonge na mhitaji, wakomboeni kutoka mkononi mwa mwovu.

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

“Hawajui lolote, hawaelewi lolote. Wanatembea gizani; misingi yote ya dunia imetikisika.

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

“Nilisema, ‘Ninyi ni “miungu”; ninyi nyote ni wana wa Aliye Juu Sana.’

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

Lakini mtakufa kama wanadamu wa kawaida; mtaanguka kama mtawala mwingine yeyote.”

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

Ee Mungu, inuka uihukumu nchi, kwa kuwa mataifa yote ni urithi wako.
