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:

Yon Sòm Asaph Bondye vin kanpe nan mitan pwòp asanble Li a. Li fè jijman nan mitan dye yo.

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

Pou konbyen de tan nou va jije san jistis, e montre favè a mechan yo?

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.

“Fè defans fèb yo ak òfelen yo. Fè jistis a aflije ak malere yo.

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

Sove fèb yo ak malere yo. Delivre fè yo sòti nan men a mechan yo.”

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!

Yo pa konnen ni yo pa konprann. Yo mache toupatou nan fènwa. Tout fondasyon tè yo fin souke nèt.

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

Mwen te di: “Se dye ke nou ye, e nou tout se fis a Pi Wo a.

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

Sepandan, nou va mouri tankou moun, e tonbe tankou nenpòt nan prens yo.”

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

Leve, O Bondye, jije tè a! Paske se Ou ki posede tout nasyon yo.
