Psalmowo 82

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

[A Psalm by Asaph.] God presides in the assembly of God. He judges 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?" (Selah)

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

"Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

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

Rescue the weak 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 do not know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

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

I said, "You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.

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

Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers."

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

Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.
