Psalms 82

1 God gathers all the [rulers and judges who think they are] gods for a meeting in heaven; and he tells them that he has decided this:

Asaph kah Tingtoenglung Pathen tah Pathen kah hlangboel khuiah pai tih pathen rhoek lakli ah lai a tloek.

2 “You must [RHQ] stop judging [people] unfairly; you must no longer make decisions that favor wicked [people]!

Me hil nim dumlai na tang sak uh vetih halang rhoek kah maelhmai na dan uh ve? (Selah)

3 You must defend [people who are] poor and orphans; you must act fairly toward those who are needy and those who have no one to help them.

Tattloel neh cadah te laitloek pah lamtah mangdaeng neh aka vawtthoek te tang sak.

4 Rescue them from the power [MTY] of evil [people] [DOU]!”

Tattloel neh khodaeng te hlawt lamtah halang rhoek kut khui lamkah huul lah.

5 [Those rulers] do not know or understand anything! They are very corrupt/evil, and [as a result of their corrupt/evil behavior], [it is as though] the foundation of the world is being shaken!

Tamyin khuiah pongpa uh tih diklai kah a yung boeih a tuen khaw ming uh pawt tih yakming uh pawh.

6 I [the all-powerful God, previously] said to them, “You think you are gods! [It is as though] you are all my sons,

Nangmih tah pathen rhoek neh Khohni ca rhoek ni. Nangmih boeih taengah kamah loh ka thui coeng.

7 but you will die like people do; your lives will end, like the lives of all rulers end.”

Tedae hlang bangla na duek uh vetih mangpa pakhat bangla na cungku uh ni.

8 God, arise and judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth, because all the people-groups belong to you!

Namtom rhoek boeih te namah loh na pang coeng dongah Pathen aw thoo lamtah diklai he laitloek thil laeh.
