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:

KE ku mai nei ke Akua iwnena o ke anaina alii; Oia ka i hooponopono iwaena o na akua.

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

Pehea la ka loihi o ko oukou apono ana i ka hewa, A hoolana hoi i ka maka o ka poe lawehala? (Sila)

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.

E hoopono oukou i ka mea nawaliwali, a me na keiki makua ole; E hoopololei hoi mamuli o ka poe pilikia, a me ka mea ilihune.

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

E hoopakele oukou i ka mea nawaliwali, a me ka mea nele; E kaili mai hoi ia lakou, mai ka lima mai o ka poe hewa.

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!

Aole e ike lakou, aole hoi e hooponopono iho; Holoholo lakou ma ka pouli; Naueue hoi na kumu a pau o ka honua.

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

Olelo aku la au, He poe akua oukou, He poe keiki no hoi oukou na ka Mea kiekie loa.

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

Aka, e make no oukou e like me na kanaka, A e hina hoi e like me kekahi o na'lii.

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

E ku mai oe, e ke Akua, e hooponopono i ko ka honua; No ka mea, e loaa ana no ia oe, iwaena o ko na aina a pau.
