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:

Псалом Аса́фів.

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

„Аж доки ви будете несправедливо судити, і доки бу́дете ви підіймати обличчя безбожних? (Се́ла)

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.

Розсуді́те нужде́нного та сироту́, оправдайте убогого та бідаря́,

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

порятуйте нужде́нного та бідака́, збережіть з руки несправедливих!“

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!

Не пізнали та не зрозуміли, у те́мряві ходять вони. Всі основи землі захита́лись.

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

Я сказав був: „Ви — боги, і сини ви Всевишнього всі,

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

та однак повмира́єте ви, як люди́на, і попа́даєте, як кожен із вельмо́ж“.

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

Устань же, о Боже, та землю суди, бо у вла́ді Твоїй всі наро́ди!
