Abụ Ọma 82

1 Abụ Ọma Asaf. Chineke na-ewere ọnọdụ ịchị isi nʼetiti ọgbakọ dị ukwuu; ọ na-ekpebi ikpe nʼetiti chi niile.

A Psalm for Asaph. God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst [of them] will judge gods.

2 Ruo ole mgbe ka unu ga-anọgide na-ekpe ikpe na-ezighị ezi? Ruo ole mgbe ka unu ga na-egosi ndị ajọ omume ihuọma? (Sela)

How long will you judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? (Pause)

3 Kperenụ ndị na-adịghị ike na ndị na-enweghị nna ikpe ziri ezi; hụnụ na ndị ogbenye na ndị a na-emegbu nwetara ihe ruuru ha.

Judge the orphan and poor: do justice to the low and needy.

4 Gbapụtanụ ndị na-adịghị ike na ndị nọ na mkpa; napụta ha site nʼaka ndị ajọ omume.

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

5 Ha amaghị ihe ọbụla, ha aghọtaghị ihe ọbụla. Ha na-ejegharị nʼọchịchịrị; ntọala niile nke ụwa na-ama jijiji.

They know not, nor understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.

6 “Asịrị m, ‘Unu bụ “chi,” unu niile bụ ụmụ ndị ikom nke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu.’

I have said, You are gods; and all [of you] children of the Most High.

7 Ma unu ga-anwụ ọnwụ dịka mmadụ ndị ọzọ; unu ga-ada dịka ndị ọchịchị ọzọ.”

But you die as men, and fall as one of the princes.

8 O Chineke, bilie kpee ụwa ikpe, nʼihi na mba niile bụ ihe nketa gị.

Arise, O God, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.
