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:

Khawsa ing ak thlangkqeng ak cun ce hqui a sawi nawh; “Khawsa” khqi anglak li awh awi deng hy.

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

Amak thym ce ityk dy awh nu naming dyih pyi nawh thlakchekhqi a haai ce iqyt dy nu nami toek kaw?

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.

Tha amak awm ingkaw pa amak ta thlangkhqi ce qeet na unawh; khawdengkhqi ingkaw ak khuikhakhqi a huh tyng ce huh sak uh.

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

Tha amak awmkhqi ingkaw ak voethlauhkhqi ce hul unawh; thlakche a kut khui awhkawng hul lah uh.

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!

Kaw awm am sim uhy, zaaksimnaak awm am ta uhy. Than khuiawh qoe unawh; deklai ang dyih naak ing thyn nawh tlai hy.

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

Kai ing, nang taw khawsakhqi na awm uhyk ti.” Nangmih taw sawsang soeih a cakhqi na awm uhyk ti.”

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

Cehlai thlanghqing amyihna ni na thih hly lawt hy; ukkung changkhqi amyihna ni naming tluk hly lawt hy,

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

Aw Khawsa, tho nawh khawmdek ve awi deng lah, kawtih pilnam thlangkhqi ve nang a qo ak pangkhqi na ni ami awm.
