Psalms 82

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

Asaf dwom. Onyankopɔn di ɔhene wɔ ɔsoro asafo mu; ɔbu atɛn wɔ “anyame” mu.

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

“Wobɛbɔ wɔn a wɔnteneɛ ho ban na woayɛ animhwɛ ama amumuyɛfoɔ akɔsi da bɛn?

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

Monka mmɔborɔfoɔ ne nwisiaa asɛm mma wɔn; mommɔ ahiafoɔ ne wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so yiedie ho ban.

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

Monnye ɔbrɛfoɔ ne ohiani; monnye wɔn mfiri amumuyɛfoɔ nsam.

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

“Wɔnnim hwee, na wɔnte hwee ase. Wɔkyinkyini wɔ esum mu; na asase fapem nyinaa woso.

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

“Mekaa sɛ, ‘Moyɛ “anyame”; mo nyinaa yɛ Ɔsorosoroni no mma.’

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

Nanso, mobɛwuwu sɛ nnipa pɛ; na moahwe ase sɛ sodifoɔ biara.”

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

Ao Onyankopɔn, sɔre na bɛbu ewiase atɛn; ɛfiri sɛ amanaman nyinaa yɛ wo dea.
