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:

Psaume d'Asaph. Dieu s'est tenu debout dans l'assemblée des dieux, et Dieu jugera au milieu.

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

Jusques à quand jugerez-vous selon l'iniquité, et aurez-vous égard à la face des pécheurs?

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.

Jugez l'orphelin et le pauvre; justifiez l'humble et l'indigent.

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

Délivrez l'indigent, et retirez le pauvre de la main du pécheur.

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!

Ils ne savent pas, ils n'ont point compris; ils cheminent dans les ténèbres; tous les fondements de la terre seront ébranlés.

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

Et moi j'ai dit: vous êtes des dieux, et tous fils du Très-Haut.

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

Cependant vous mourrez comme des hommes et vous tomberez comme l'un des princes.

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

Lève-toi, ô Dieu, juge la terre; car toutes les nations seront ton héritage.
