Psalms 82

1 A PSALM OF ASAPH. God has stood in the congregation of God, He judges among the gods.

Nzembo ya Azafi. Nzambe atelemi kati na lisanga na Ye, azali kokata makambo kati na banzambe.

2 Until when do you judge perversely? And lift up the face of the wicked? (Selah)

Kino tango nini bokokata makambo na bosembo te mpe bokokotela bato mabe?

3 Judge the weak and fatherless, Declare the afflicted and the poor righteous.

Bolongisa moto oyo azangi makasi mpe mwana etike, bokata likambo ya moto ya mawa mpe ya mobola;

4 Let the weak and needy escape, Deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

bopesa bonsomi na moto oyo azangi makasi mpe na mobola, bokangola bango wuta na maboko ya bato mabe.

5 They did not know, nor do they understand, They habitually walk in darkness, All the foundations of earth are moved.

Bazangi boyebi mpe bososoli, bazali koyengayenga kati na molili; miboko nyonso ya mokili ezali koningana.

6 I have said, “You [are] gods, And sons of the Most High—all of you,

Nalobaki: « Bozali banzambe, bozali bino nyonso bana ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo! »

7 But you die as man, and you fall as one of the heads.”

Nzokande, bokufaka lokola bato nyonso mpe bokweyaka lokola bakambi.

8 Rise, O God, judge the earth, For You have inheritance among all the nations!

Nzambe, telema, sambisa mokili; pamba te bikolo nyonso ezali libula na Yo.
