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:

Salmo de Asafe: Deus está na congregação dos poderosos, e julga no meio dos deuses.

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

Até quando julgareis injustamente, e favoreceis a aparência dos perversos? (Selá)

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.

Fazei justiça ao pobre e ao órfão; defendei o afligido e o pobre.

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

Livrai ao pobre e necessitado, resgatai [-o] das mãos dos perversos.

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!

Eles nada conhecem, nem entendem; continuamente andam em trevas; abalam-se todos os fundamentos da terra.

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

Eu disse: Sois deuses; e todos vós sois filhos do Altíssimo.

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

Porém morrereis como homens, e caireis como qualquer um dos líderes.

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

Levanta-te, ó Deus; julga a terra, pois tu és o dono de todas as nações.
