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

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

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

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

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

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

They know not, nor will they understand; in darkness do they walk on: all the foundations of the earth are moved.

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

I have indeed said, Ye are gods; and children of the most High are all of you.

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

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

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

Arise, O God, judge the earth; for thou wilt possess all the nations.
