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 Asaph. God has taken his stand in the divine assembly: in the midst of the gods he holds judgment.

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 crookedly judge, and favor 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.

Do right by the weak and the orphan, acquit the innocent poor.

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

Rescue the weak and the needy, save them from the hand of the wicked.

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

“They have neither knowledge nor insight, in darkness they walk to and fro, while the earth’s foundations totter.

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

It was I who appointed you gods, children of the Most High all of you.

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

Yet like mortals you will surely die, you will fall like any prince.”

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

Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all nations are yours by inheritance.
