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 gathers all the [rulers and judges who think they are] gods for a meeting in heaven; and he tells them that he has decided this:

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

“You must [RHQ] stop judging [people] unfairly; you must no longer make decisions that favor wicked [people]!

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

You must defend [people who are] poor and orphans; you must act fairly toward those who are needy and those who have no one to help them.

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

Rescue them from the power [MTY] of evil [people] [DOU]!”

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

[Those rulers] do not know or understand anything! They are very corrupt/evil, and [as a result of their corrupt/evil behavior], [it is as though] the foundation of the world is being shaken!

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

I [the all-powerful God, previously] said to them, “You think you are gods! [It is as though] you are all my sons,

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

but you will die like people do; your lives will end, like the lives of all rulers end.”

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

God, arise and judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth, because all the people-groups belong to you!
