Halelu 82

1 KE ku mai nei ke Akua iwnena o ke anaina alii; Oia ka i hooponopono iwaena o na akua.

A Psalm. Of Asaph. God is in the meeting-place of God; he is judging among the gods.

2 Pehea la ka loihi o ko oukou apono ana i ka hewa, A hoolana hoi i ka maka o ka poe lawehala? (Sila)

How long will you go on judging falsely, having respect for the persons of evil-doers? (Selah)

3 E hoopono oukou i ka mea nawaliwali, a me na keiki makua ole; E hoopololei hoi mamuli o ka poe pilikia, a me ka mea ilihune.

Give ear to the cause of the poor and the children without fathers; let those who are troubled and in need have their rights.

4 E hoopakele oukou i ka mea nawaliwali, a me ka mea nele; E kaili mai hoi ia lakou, mai ka lima mai o ka poe hewa.

Be the saviour of the poor and those who have nothing: take them out of the hand of the evil-doers.

5 Aole e ike lakou, aole hoi e hooponopono iho; Holoholo lakou ma ka pouli; Naueue hoi na kumu a pau o ka honua.

They have no knowledge or sense; they go about in the dark: all the bases of the earth are moved.

6 Olelo aku la au, He poe akua oukou, He poe keiki no hoi oukou na ka Mea kiekie loa.

I said, You are gods; all of you are the sons of the Most High:

7 Aka, e make no oukou e like me na kanaka, A e hina hoi e like me kekahi o na'lii.

But you will come to death like men, falling like one of the rulers of the earth.

8 E ku mai oe, e ke Akua, e hooponopono i ko ka honua; No ka mea, e loaa ana no ia oe, iwaena o ko na aina a pau.

Up! O God, come as judge of the earth; for all the nations are your heritage.
