< 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:
Sitatakder ti Dios iti nasantoan a taripnong; iti tengnga dagiti dios, ipaayna ti panangukom.
2 “You must [RHQ] stop judging [people] unfairly; you must no longer make decisions that favor wicked [people]!
Kunana, “Kasano pay kapaut ti nakillo a panangukomyo ken ti panangipakitayo iti panangpaboryo kadagiti nadangkes? (Selah)
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.
Ikalinteganyo dagiti napanglaw ken dagiti awanan iti amma; pagtalinaedenyo ti karbengan dagiti nagsagsagaba ken dagiti napanglaw unay.
4 Rescue them from the power [MTY] of evil [people] [DOU]!”
Tulonganyo dagiti nakurapay ken dagiti agkasapulan; ikkatenyo ida manipud iti ima dagiti nadangkes.
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!
Saanda nga ammo wenno maawatan; agalla-allada iti kasipngetan; marmarba dagiti amin a pundasion ti daga.
6 I [the all-powerful God, previously] said to them, “You think you are gods! [It is as though] you are all my sons,
Kinunak, “Dakayo ket dios, ken an-annaknakayo amin ti Kangatoan.
7 but you will die like people do; your lives will end, like the lives of all rulers end.”
Nupay kasta, mataykayonto a kas kadagiti lallaki ken mapasag a kas iti maysa kadagiti prinsipe.”
8 God, arise and judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth, because all the people-groups belong to you!
Tumakderka, O Dios, ukomem ti daga, ta tawidem amin dagiti a nasion.
