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 Asaph.” God standeth in God's assembly, He judgeth in the midst of 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 ye judge unjustly, And favor the cause of the wicked? (Pause)

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 the fatherless; Do justice to the wretched and the needy!

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

Deliver the poor and the destitute; Save them from the hand of the wicked!

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

They are without knowledge and without understanding; They walk in darkness: Therefore all the foundations of the land are shaken.

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

I have said, Ye are gods, And all of you 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 ye shall die like men, And fall like the rest 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 all the nations are thy possession.
