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 hath stood in the congregation of gods: and being in the midst of them he judgeth 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 accept the persons of the wicked?

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

Judge for the needy and fatherless: do justice to the humble and the poor.

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

Rescue the poor; and deliver the needy 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 have not known nor understood: they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be moved.

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

I have said: You are gods and all of you the sons of the most High.

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

But you like men shall die: and shall fall like one of the princes.

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

Arise, O God, judge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherit among all the nations.
