Psalms 82

1 A Psalm by Asaph. God presides in the great assembly. He judges amongst the gods.

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

2 “How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” (Selah)

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

3 “Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

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

4 Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”

Mwokoeni mnyonge na mhitaji, wakomboeni kutoka mkononi mwa mwovu.

5 They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

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

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

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

7 Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.”

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

8 Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.

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