Psalms 82

1 A psalm of Asaph. God stands in the divine assembly; in the midst of the gods he renders judgment.

Faarfannaa Asaaf. Waaqni, waldaa waaqotaa gidduu dhaabata; “waaqota” gidduuttis murtii kenna; akkanas jedha:

2 How long will you judge unjustly and show favoritism to the wicked? (Selah)

“Isin hamma yoomiitti seera jalʼiftu? Hamma yoomiittis jalʼootaaf dhaabattu?

3 Defend the poor and fatherless; maintain the rights of the afflicted and destitute.

Dadhabdootaa fi ijoollee abbaa hin qabneef murtii qajeelaa kennaa; mirga hiyyeeyyiitii fi cunqurfamtootaas eegsisaa.

4 Rescue the poor and needy; take them out of the hand of the wicked.

Warra dadhabaa fi rakkattoota baraaraa; harka jalʼootaatiis isaan baasaa.

5 They neither know nor understand; they wander around in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth crumble.

“Isaan homaa hin beekan; homaa illee hin hubatan. Isaan dukkana keessa jiraatu; hundeen lafaa hundinuu ni raafame.

6 I said, “You are gods, and all of you sons of the Most High.

“Anis, ‘Isin, “waaqota;” hundi keessan ilmaan Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii ti’ jedheera.

7 Nevertheless you will die like men and fall like one of the princes.”

Taʼus isin akkuma namatti ni duutu; akkuma bulchitoota kamii iyyuu ni kuftu.”

8 Arise, God, judge the earth, for you have an inheritance in all the nations.

Yaa Waaqi kaʼi; lafatti muri; sabni hundinuu kan keetiitii.
