Halelu 82

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

A psalm for Asaph. God hath stood in the congregation of gods: and being in the midst of them he judgeth 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 judge unjustly: and accept the persons of the wicked?

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.

Judge for the needy and fatherless: do justice to the humble and the poor.

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.

Rescue the poor; and deliver the needy out of the hand of the sinner.

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 not known nor understood: they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be moved.

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

I have said: You are gods and all of you 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 like men shall die: and shall fall like one of the princes.

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.

Arise, O God, judge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherit among all the nations.
