Sòm 82

1 Se yon sòm Asaf. Bondye kanpe nan mitan konsèy ki nan syèl la, li kanpe nan mitan bondye yo, l'ap jije.

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

2 Li di: -Kilè n'a sispann fè mechanste lè n'ap jije? Kilè n'a sispann achte figi mechan yo?

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

3 Pran defans pòv malere yo ak timoun ki san papa yo! Pran defans malere yo ak moun ki san sekou yo!

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

4 Delivre pòv malere ak endijan yo! Delivre yo anba men mechan yo.

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

5 Nou sòt, nou pa konprann anyen! N'ap mache nan fènwa. Pa gen jistis sou latè ankò!

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

6 Mwen te di se bondye nou ye, nou tout se pitit Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la nou ye.

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

7 Men, nou gen pou nou mouri tankou tout moun, wi, nou gen pou nou mouri tankou nenpòt chèf.

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

8 Leve non, Bondye, vin jije latè! Paske, se pou ou tout nasyon yo ye.

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