Psalms 82

1 A Melody of Asaph. God, hath taken his place in the august assembly, In the midst of the gods, will he judge.

Salimo la Asafu. Mulungu akutsogolera msonkhano waukulu; Iye akuweruza pakati pa “milungu.”

2 How long will ye judge perversely, And, the countenances of the lawless, uplift? (Selah)

“Mudzateteza osalungama mpaka liti, ndi kukondera anthu oyipa?

3 Vindicate the weak and the fatherless, The oppressed and the poor, see righted;

Tetezani anthu ofowoka ndi amasiye; mukhazikitse ufulu wa anthu osauka ndi ozunzika.

4 Deliver the weak and the needy, Out of the hand of the lawless, make rescue.

Landitsani anthu ofowoka ndi osowa; apulumutseni mʼdzanja la anthu oyipa.

5 They know not, neither can they perceive, In darkness, they wander, All the foundations of the earth do shake.

“Iwo sadziwa kanthu, sazindikira kalikonse. Amayendayenda mu mdima; maziko onse a dziko lapansi agwedezeka.

6 I, said, Gods, ye are, Yea, sons of the Highest, are ye all;

“Ndinati, ‘Inu ndinu Mulungu, nonsenu ndinu ana a Wammwambamwamba.’

7 But indeed, like the earth-born, shall ye die! And, like one of the princes, shall ye fall!

Koma mudzafa ngati anthu wamba; mudzagwa ngati wolamula wina aliyense.”

8 Arise! O God, judge thou the earth, For, thou, wilt inherit all the nations.

Dzukani Inu Mulungu, weruzani dziko lapansi, pakuti mayiko onse ndi cholowa chanu.
