Psalms 82

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

Bog stoji v skupnosti mogočnih, sodi med bogovi.

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

»Doklej boste nepravično sodili in sprejemali zunanjost zlobnih? (Sela)

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

Branite revne in osirotele, ravnajte pravično prizadetim in pomoči potrebnim.

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

Osvobodite uboge in pomoči potrebne, odstranite jih iz roke zlobnih.«

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

Ne vedo niti ne bodo razumeli, hodijo v temi. Vsi temelji zemlje so izven naravnega reda.

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

Rekel sem: »Vi ste bogovi in vsi izmed vas ste otroci Najvišjega.

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

Vendar boste umrli kakor ljudje in padli kakor kdo izmed princev.«

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

Vstani, oh Bog, sodi zemljo, kajti ti boš podedoval vse narode.
