Psalms 82

1 Of Asaph. God stood in the synagoge of goddis; forsothe he demeth goddis in the myddil.

Ihubo lika-Asafi UNkulunkulu usesihlalweni emhlanganweni omkhulu; nguye owahlulelayo phakathi kwabo “nkulunkulu”:

2 Hou longe demen ye wickidnesse; and taken the faces of synneris?

“Koze kube nini livikela ababi na libonakala lithanda izigangi?

3 Deme ye to the nedi man, and to the modirles child; iustifie ye the meke man and pore.

Lamlelani ababuthakathaka lezintandane; melani amalungelo abayanga labahlukuluzwayo.

4 Raueische ye out a pore man; and delyuere ye the nedi man fro the hond of the synner.

Lamlelani ababuthakathaka labaswelayo; bephuleni esandleni sababi.

5 Thei knewen not, nether vndirstoden, thei goen in derknessis; alle the foundementis of erthe schulen be moued.

Onkulunkulu kabazi lutho, kabazwisisi lutho. Bayantula emnyameni; zonke izisekelo zomhlaba zixukuxiwe.

6 I seide, Ye ben goddis; and alle ye ben the sones of hiy God.

Ngathi, ‘Lingo “nkulunkulu”; lonke lingamadodana akhe oPhezukonke.’

7 But ye schulen die as men; and ye schulen falle doun as oon of the princis.

Kodwa lizakufa lingabantu nje; lizakuwa njengamanye amakhosi wonke.”

8 Ryse, thou God, deme thou the erthe; for thou schalt haue eritage in alle folkis.

Phakama, Oh Nkulunkulu, yahlulela umhlaba, ngoba zonke izizwe ziyilifa lakho.
