Psalms 82

1 — A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge.

Nzembo ya Azafi. Nzambe atelemi kati na lisanga na Ye, azali kokata makambo kati na banzambe.

2 Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? (Selah)

Kino tango nini bokokata makambo na bosembo te mpe bokokotela bato mabe?

3 Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous.

Bolongisa moto oyo azangi makasi mpe mwana etike, bokata likambo ya moto ya mawa mpe ya mobola;

4 Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them.

bopesa bonsomi na moto oyo azangi makasi mpe na mobola, bokangola bango wuta na maboko ya bato mabe.

5 They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.

Bazangi boyebi mpe bososoli, bazali koyengayenga kati na molili; miboko nyonso ya mokili ezali koningana.

6 I — I have said, 'Gods ye [are], And sons of the Most High — all of you,

Nalobaki: « Bozali banzambe, bozali bino nyonso bana ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo! »

7 But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall,

Nzokande, bokufaka lokola bato nyonso mpe bokweyaka lokola bakambi.

8 Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations!

Nzambe, telema, sambisa mokili; pamba te bikolo nyonso ezali libula na Yo.
