Psalms 82

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

Ko e Saame ʻa ʻAsafi. ‌ʻOku ʻafio ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he fakataha ʻoe kau mālohi; ʻoku ne fakamaau ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua.

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

“ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa mo hoʻomou fakamaau taʻetotonu, pea filifilimānako ki he kakai angahala?” (Sila)

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

“Fakamaau ʻae paea mo e tamai mate: fai angatonu ki he mamahi mo e masiva.

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

Fakahaofi ʻae masiva mo e paea: fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻoe kau angahala.”

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

‌ʻOku ʻikai te nau ʻilo, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau fie ʻilo; ʻoku nau ʻalu pē ʻi he poʻuli: kuo ueʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga kotoa pē ʻo māmani.

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

Naʻaku pehē, “Ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻakimoutolu; pea ko e fānau ʻae Fungani Māʻolunga ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē.

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

Ka temou mate ʻo hangē ko e kau tangata, pea tō ʻo hangē ko e tokotaha ʻoe houʻeiki.”

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

Tuʻu hake, ʻE ʻOtua, fakamaau ʻa māmani: he te ke maʻu ʻae puleʻanga kotoa pē.
