< 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:
Tumatayo ang Diyos sa banal na pagtitipon; sa kalagitnaan ng mga diyos, nagbibigay siya ng paghatol.
2 “You must [RHQ] stop judging [people] unfairly; you must no longer make decisions that favor wicked [people]!
Gaano katagal kang hahatol nang walang katarungan at magpapakita ng pagtatangi sa masasama? (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.
Ipagtanggol mo ang mahihirap at mga ulila sa ama; panatilihin mo ang mga karapatan ng pinapahirapan at dukha.
4 Rescue them from the power [MTY] of evil [people] [DOU]!”
Sagipin mo ang mahihirap at nangangailangan; alisin mo (sila) sa kamay ng masasama.
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!
Hindi nila nalalaman ni nauunawaan; nagpapalabuy-laboy (sila) sa kadiliman; lahat ng mga pundasyon ng lupa ay gumuguho.
6 I [the all-powerful God, previously] said to them, “You think you are gods! [It is as though] you are all my sons,
Sinabi ko, “Kayo ay mga diyos, at lahat kayong mga anak ng Kataas-taasan.
7 but you will die like people do; your lives will end, like the lives of all rulers end.”
Gayumpaman mamamatay kayo tulad ng mga tao at babagsak tulad ng isa sa mga prinsipe.”
8 God, arise and judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth, because all the people-groups belong to you!
Bumangon, O Diyos, hatulan mo ang daigdig, dahil mamanahin mo ang lahat ng mga bansa.
