Halelu 82

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

[A Psalm by Asaph.] God presides in the assembly 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)

"How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to 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.

"Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

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 weak and needy. Deliver them out of 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 do not know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

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 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.

Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers."

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, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.
