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 has stood in the congregation of God, He judges 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)

Until when do you judge perversely? And lift up 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 the weak and fatherless, Declare the afflicted and the poor righteous.

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.

Let the weak and needy escape, Deliver them from the hand 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 did not know, nor do they understand, They habitually walk in darkness, All the foundations of 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 said, “You [are] gods, And sons of the Most High—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 you die as man, and you fall as one of the heads.”

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.

Rise, O God, judge the earth, For You have inheritance among all the nations!
