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 hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge.

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

Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? (Selah)

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

Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous.

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

Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them.

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

They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.

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

I — I have said, 'Gods ye [are], And sons of the Most High — all of you,

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

But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall,

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

Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations!
