Psalms 82

1 [A Psalm by Asaph.] God presides in the assembly of God. He judges among the gods.

Asaf ƒe ha. Mawu nɔ zi me na takpekpe gã la, eye wòdrɔ̃ ʋɔnu le “mawuwo” dome.

2 "How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?" (Selah)

“Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi miaʋli ame baɖa la ta, eye miatso afia ade ame vɔ̃ɖi la dzi?” (Sela)

3 "Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

“Miʋli ame gblɔewo kple tsyɔ̃eviwo ta, eye miwɔ dɔmenyo na hiãtɔwo kple ame siwo wote ɖe to.

4 Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked."

Mixɔ na ame gblɔewo kple hiãtɔwo, eye miɖe wo tso ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe asi me.

5 They do not know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

“Womenya naneke o, womese naneke gɔme o. Wole zɔzɔm le blukɔ me, eye anyigba ƒe agunuwo katã ʋuʋu.

6 I said, "You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.

“Megblɔ be, ‘Mawuwoe mienye; mi katã mienye Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe viŋutsuwo’,

7 Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers."

gake miaku abe amegbetɔwo ko ene eye miatsi aʋa abe fia ɖe sia ɖe ko ene.”

8 Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.

O! Mawu, tso, eye nàdrɔ̃ ʋɔnu anyigba la elabena dukɔwo katã nye wò domenyinu.
