Thaburi 82

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

“A psalm of Assaph.” God standeth in the congregation of God, in the midst of judges doth he judge.

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

How long will ye judge unjustly, and treat with favor the face 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.

Judge uprightly the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and indigent.

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

Release the poor and needy: deliver them out of the power of the wicked.

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

They know not, nor will they understand; in darkness do they walk on: all the foundations of the earth are moved.

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

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

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

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

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

Arise, O God, judge the earth; for thou wilt possess all the nations.
