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 standeth in the congregation of God; in the midst of the judges He judgeth:

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

'How long will ye judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

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

Judge the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

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

Rescue the poor and needy; deliver them out of 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 know not, neither do they understand; they go about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are moved.

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

I said: Ye are godlike beings, and all of you sons of the Most High.

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

Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and 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 the earth; for Thou shalt possess all nations.
