< 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:
Zaburi mar Asaf. Nyasaye osekawo kare e dier chokruok maduongʼ, ongʼado bura e kind “nyiseche.”
2 “You must [RHQ] stop judging [people] unfairly; you must no longer make decisions that favor wicked [people]!
Nyaka karangʼo ma ubiro dhi nyime ka udewo wangʼ joma ok timbegi nikare kendo kudewo wangʼ joma timbegi richo? (Sela)
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.
Ngʼaduru bura makare ne joma ok nyal kod nyithi kiye, kendo konyuru joma odhier kod joma ok nyal konyore kendgi.
4 Rescue them from the power [MTY] of evil [people] [DOU]!”
Resuru joma ok nyal kod joma ochando; golgiuru e lwet joma timbegi richo.
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!
To gisesiko ka gimemore kendo onge gima gingʼeyo. Giwuotho koni gi koni e mudho; kendo gimiyo mise duto mag piny yiengni.
6 I [the all-powerful God, previously] said to them, “You think you are gods! [It is as though] you are all my sons,
“Asenyisou ni, ‘Un “nyiseche;” kendo ni un duto un yawuot Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo.’
7 but you will die like people do; your lives will end, like the lives of all rulers end.”
To ubiro tho ka ji ajia; adier ubiro podho mana kaka jatelo moro amora ma ok otangʼ.”
8 God, arise and judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth, because all the people-groups belong to you!
Aa malo, yaye Nyasaye, ngʼadni piny bura, nimar ogendini duto gin girkeni magi.
