Psalms 82

1 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

Salimo la Asafu. Mulungu akutsogolera msonkhano waukulu; Iye akuweruza pakati pa “milungu.”

2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

“Mudzateteza osalungama mpaka liti, ndi kukondera anthu oyipa?

3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

Tetezani anthu ofowoka ndi amasiye; mukhazikitse ufulu wa anthu osauka ndi ozunzika.

4 Deliver the poor and needy: deliver [them] from the hand of the wicked.

Landitsani anthu ofowoka ndi osowa; apulumutseni mʼdzanja la anthu oyipa.

5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

“Iwo sadziwa kanthu, sazindikira kalikonse. Amayendayenda mu mdima; maziko onse a dziko lapansi agwedezeka.

6 I have said, Ye [are] gods; and all of you [are] children of the Most High.

“Ndinati, ‘Inu ndinu Mulungu, nonsenu ndinu ana a Wammwambamwamba.’

7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

Koma mudzafa ngati anthu wamba; mudzagwa ngati wolamula wina aliyense.”

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou wilt inherit all nations.

Dzukani Inu Mulungu, weruzani dziko lapansi, pakuti mayiko onse ndi cholowa chanu.
