Psalmowo 82

1 Asaf ƒe ha. Mawu nɔ zi me na takpekpe gã la, eye wòdrɔ̃ ʋɔnu le “mawuwo” dome.

A Psalm of Asaph. God presides in the divine assembly; He renders judgment among the gods:

2 “Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣi miaʋli ame baɖa la ta, eye miatso afia ade ame vɔ̃ɖi la dzi?” (Sela)

“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked?

3 “Miʋli ame gblɔewo kple tsyɔ̃eviwo ta, eye miwɔ dɔmenyo na hiãtɔwo kple ame siwo wote ɖe to.

Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.

4 Mixɔ na ame gblɔewo kple hiãtɔwo, eye miɖe wo tso ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe asi me.

Rescue the weak and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.

5 “Womenya naneke o, womese naneke gɔme o. Wole zɔzɔm le blukɔ me, eye anyigba ƒe agunuwo katã ʋuʋu.

They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 “Megblɔ be, ‘Mawuwoe mienye; mi katã mienye Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe viŋutsuwo’,

I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’

7 gake miaku abe amegbetɔwo ko ene eye miatsi aʋa abe fia ɖe sia ɖe ko ene.”

But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall.”

8 O! Mawu, tso, eye nàdrɔ̃ ʋɔnu anyigba la elabena dukɔwo katã nye wò domenyinu.

Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your inheritance.
