Psalms 82

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

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

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

“Muchasvika riniko muchirwira vasakarurama uye muchisanangura vanhu vakaipa? Sera

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

Tongai mhaka dzavasina simba nenherera; chengetedzai kodzero dzavarombo navakadzvinyirirwa.

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

Nunurai vasina simba navanoshayiwa; varwirei paruoko rwowakaipa.

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

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

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

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

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

Asi muchafa savanhuwo zvavo; muchawa savatongi vose.”

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

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