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 Assaph.” God standeth in the congregation of God, in the midst of judges doth he judge.

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 ye judge unjustly, and treat with favor the face of the wicked? (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.

Judge uprightly the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and indigent.

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.

Release the poor and needy: deliver them out of the power of the wicked.

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 know not, nor will they understand; in darkness do they walk on: all the foundations 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 have indeed said, Ye are gods; and children of the most High are all of you.

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

But verily like men shall ye die, and like one of the princes shall ye fall.

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 the earth; for thou wilt possess all the nations.
