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:

Pisarema raAsafi. Mwari anogara paungano huru; anotonga pakati pa“vamwari” achiti,

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

“Muchasvika riniko muchirwira vasakarurama uye muchisanangura vanhu vakaipa? Sera

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.

Tongai mhaka dzavasina simba nenherera; chengetedzai kodzero dzavarombo navakadzvinyirirwa.

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

Nunurai vasina simba navanoshayiwa; varwirei paruoko rwowakaipa.

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!

“Havana chavanoziva, havana chavanonzwisisa. Vanongofamba-famba murima; nheyo dzose dzenyika dzinozungunuswa.

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

“Ndakati, ‘Muri vamwari; imi mose muri vanakomana veWokumusoro-soro.’

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

Asi muchafa savanhuwo zvavo; muchawa savatongi vose.”

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

Simukai, imi Mwari, mutonge nyika, nokuti ndudzi dzose inhaka yenyu.
