Thaburi 82

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

God stands in the congregation of the mighty; he judges among the gods.

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

How long will you judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

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

Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

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

Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

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

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

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

I have said, You are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

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

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

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

Arise, O God, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.
