Thaburi 82

1 Thaburi ya Asafu Ngai arũgamĩte kĩũngano-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩnene; aratuĩra “ngai” ciira arĩ gatagatĩ ga cio.

A Psalm. Of Asaph. God is in the meeting-place of God; he is judging among the gods.

2 “Nĩ nginya rĩ mũgũtũũra mũciiragĩrĩra andũ arĩa matarũgamagĩrĩra kĩhooto, na mũgatĩĩra arĩa aaganu maũthĩ?

How long will you go on judging falsely, having respect for the persons of evil-doers? (Selah)

3 “Ciiragĩrĩrai kĩhooto kĩa arĩa matarĩ hinya na arĩa matarĩ maithe; tũũriai ihooto cia andũ arĩa athĩĩni o na arĩa ahinyĩrĩrie.

Give ear to the cause of the poor and the children without fathers; let those who are troubled and in need have their rights.

4 Hatũragai arĩa matarĩ hinya na arĩa abatari; mateithũrei kuuma moko-inĩ ma arĩa aaganu.

Be the saviour of the poor and those who have nothing: take them out of the hand of the evil-doers.

5 “Andũ acio matirĩ ũndũ mooĩ, na matirĩ ũndũ makũũranaga. Macangacangaga nduma-inĩ; mĩthingi yothe ya thĩ nĩyenyenyete.

They have no knowledge or sense; they go about in the dark: all the bases of the earth are moved.

6 “Ndoigire atĩrĩ, ‘Inyuĩ mũrĩ “ngai”; inyuothe mũrĩ ariũ a Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno.’

I said, You are gods; all of you are the sons of the Most High:

7 No mũgaakua o ta ũrĩa andũ makuuaga; mũkaagũa o ta aathani arĩa angĩ.”

But you will come to death like men, falling like one of the rulers of the earth.

8 Arahũka, Wee Ngai, ũtuĩre thĩ ciira, nĩgũkorwo ndũrĩrĩ ciothe nĩ igai rĩaku.

Up! O God, come as judge of the earth; for all the nations are your heritage.
