< Thaburi 82 >

1 Thaburi ya Asafu Ngai arũgamĩte kĩũngano-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩnene; aratuĩra “ngai” ciira arĩ gatagatĩ ga cio.
A Psalm for Asaph. God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst [of them] will judge gods.
2 “Nĩ nginya rĩ mũgũtũũra mũciiragĩrĩra andũ arĩa matarũgamagĩrĩra kĩhooto, na mũgatĩĩra arĩa aaganu maũthĩ?
How long will you judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? (Pause)
3 “Ciiragĩrĩrai kĩhooto kĩa arĩa matarĩ hinya na arĩa matarĩ maithe; tũũriai ihooto cia andũ arĩa athĩĩni o na arĩa ahinyĩrĩrie.
Judge the orphan and poor: do justice to the low and needy.
4 Hatũragai arĩa matarĩ hinya na arĩa abatari; mateithũrei kuuma moko-inĩ ma arĩa aaganu.
Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor out of the hand of the sinner.
5 “Andũ acio matirĩ ũndũ mooĩ, na matirĩ ũndũ makũũranaga. Macangacangaga nduma-inĩ; mĩthingi yothe ya thĩ nĩyenyenyete.
They know not, nor understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.
6 “Ndoigire atĩrĩ, ‘Inyuĩ mũrĩ “ngai”; inyuothe mũrĩ ariũ a Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno.’
I have said, You are gods; and all [of you] children of the Most High.
7 No mũgaakua o ta ũrĩa andũ makuuaga; mũkaagũa o ta aathani arĩa angĩ.”
But you die as men, and fall as 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.
