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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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