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.

Zaburi ya Asafu. Mungu anaongoza kusanyiko kuu, anatoa hukumu miongoni mwa “miungu”:

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

“Hata lini utaendelea kuwatetea wasio haki na kuonyesha upendeleo kwa waovu?

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

Teteeni wanyonge na yatima, tunzeni haki za maskini na walioonewa.

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

Mwokoeni mnyonge na mhitaji, wakomboeni kutoka mkononi mwa mwovu.

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

“Hawajui lolote, hawaelewi lolote. Wanatembea gizani; misingi yote ya dunia imetikisika.

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

“Nilisema, ‘Ninyi ni “miungu”; ninyi nyote ni wana wa Aliye Juu Sana.’

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

Lakini mtakufa kama wanadamu wa kawaida; mtaanguka kama mtawala mwingine yeyote.”

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

Ee Mungu, inuka uihukumu nchi, kwa kuwa mataifa yote ni urithi wako.
