Psalms 82

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

Asaf dwom. Onyankopɔn di hene wɔ ɔsoro asafo mu; obu atɛn wɔ “anyame” mu.

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

“Wobɛbɔ wɔn a wɔnteɛ ho ban na woayɛ nhwɛanim ama amumɔyɛfo akosi da bɛn?

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

Monka mmɔborɔfo ne ayisaa asɛm mma wɔn; mommɔ ahiafo ne wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so yiyedi ho ban.

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

Munnye ɔbrɛfo ne ahiafo; munnye wɔn mfi amumɔyɛfo nsam.

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

“Anyame no nnim de, na wɔnte hwee ase. Wokyinkyin wɔ sum mu; na asase fapem nyinaa wosow.

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

“Mekae se, ‘Moyɛ “anyame;” mo nyinaa yɛ Ɔsorosoroni no mma.’

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

Nanso mubewuwu sɛ nnipa pɛ; na moahwe ase sɛ ɔsodifo biara.”

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

Ao Onyankopɔn, sɔre, bu wiase atɛn; efisɛ amanaman nyinaa yɛ wo de.
