Sòm 82

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

A Melody of Asaph. God, hath taken his place in the august assembly, In the midst of the gods, will he judge.

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

How long will ye judge perversely, And, the countenances of the lawless, uplift? (Selah)

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

Vindicate the weak and the fatherless, The oppressed and the poor, see righted;

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

Deliver the weak and the needy, Out of the hand of the lawless, make rescue.

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

They know not, neither can they perceive, In darkness, they wander, All the foundations of the earth do shake.

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

I, said, Gods, ye are, Yea, sons of the Highest, are ye all;

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

But indeed, like the earth-born, shall ye die! And, like one of the princes, shall ye fall!

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

Arise! O God, judge thou the earth, For, thou, wilt inherit all the nations.
