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:

Zaburi ya Asafu. Mungu anaongoza kusanyiko kuu, anatoa hukumu miongoni mwa “miungu”:

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

“Hata lini utaendelea kuwatetea wasio haki na kuonyesha upendeleo kwa waovu?

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.

Teteeni wanyonge na yatima, tunzeni haki za maskini na walioonewa.

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

Mwokoeni mnyonge na mhitaji, wakomboeni kutoka mkononi mwa mwovu.

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!

“Hawajui lolote, hawaelewi lolote. Wanatembea gizani; misingi yote ya dunia imetikisika.

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

“Nilisema, ‘Ninyi ni “miungu”; ninyi nyote ni wana wa Aliye Juu Sana.’

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

Lakini mtakufa kama wanadamu wa kawaida; mtaanguka kama mtawala mwingine yeyote.”

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

Ee Mungu, inuka uihukumu nchi, kwa kuwa mataifa yote ni urithi wako.
