Sòm 82

1 Yon Sòm Asaph Bondye vin kanpe nan mitan pwòp asanble Li a. Li fè jijman nan mitan dye yo.

A psalm of Asaph. God has taken his stand in the divine assembly: in the midst of the gods he holds judgment.

2 Pou konbyen de tan nou va jije san jistis, e montre favè a mechan yo?

‘How long will you crookedly judge, and favour the wicked? (Selah)

3 “Fè defans fèb yo ak òfelen yo. Fè jistis a aflije ak malere yo.

Do right by the weak and the orphan, acquit the innocent poor.

4 Sove fèb yo ak malere yo. Delivre fè yo sòti nan men a mechan yo.”

Rescue the weak and the needy, save them from the hand of the wicked.

5 Yo pa konnen ni yo pa konprann. Yo mache toupatou nan fènwa. Tout fondasyon tè yo fin souke nèt.

‘They have neither knowledge nor insight, in darkness they walk to and fro, while the earth’s foundations totter.

6 Mwen te di: “Se dye ke nou ye, e nou tout se fis a Pi Wo a.

It was I who appointed you gods, children of the Most High all of you.

7 Sepandan, nou va mouri tankou moun, e tonbe tankou nenpòt nan prens yo.”

Yet like mortals you will surely die, you will fall like any prince.’

8 Leve, O Bondye, jije tè a! Paske se Ou ki posede tout nasyon yo.

Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all nations are yours by inheritance.
