< Psalmowo 82 >
1 Asaf ƒe ha. Mawu nɔ zi me na takpekpe gã la, eye wòdrɔ̃ ʋɔnu le “mawuwo” dome.
A Psalm for Asaph. God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst [of them] will judge 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 unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? (Pause)
3 “Miʋli ame gblɔewo kple tsyɔ̃eviwo ta, eye miwɔ dɔmenyo na hiãtɔwo kple ame siwo wote ɖe to.
Judge the orphan and poor: do justice to the low and needy.
4 Mixɔ na ame gblɔewo kple hiãtɔwo, eye miɖe wo tso ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe asi me.
Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor out of the hand of the sinner.
5 “Womenya naneke o, womese naneke gɔme o. Wole zɔzɔm le blukɔ me, eye anyigba ƒe agunuwo katã ʋuʋu.
They know not, nor understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.
6 “Megblɔ be, ‘Mawuwoe mienye; mi katã mienye Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe viŋutsuwo’,
I have said, You are gods; and all [of you] children of the Most High.
7 gake miaku abe amegbetɔwo ko ene eye miatsi aʋa abe fia ɖe sia ɖe ko ene.”
But you die as men, and fall as one of the princes.
8 O! Mawu, tso, eye nàdrɔ̃ ʋɔnu anyigba la elabena dukɔwo katã nye wò domenyinu.
Arise, O God, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.
