Psalms 82

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Warra dadhabaa fi rakkattoota baraaraa; harka jalʼootaatiis isaan baasaa.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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