Psalm 82

1 [Psalm lal Asaph] God El muta fin tron lal ye mutun mwet kulansap mutal lal inkusrao; Ke tukeni lalos El akkalemye wotela lal ouinge:

God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the deities.

2 “Nik kowos sifil oru nununku sesuwos; Ac kowos in tia sifil insese yurin mwet koluk!

“How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

3 Oru nununku suwohs nu sin mwet sukasrup ac mwet mukaimtal, Ac oru suwohs nu sin mwet enenu ac mwet munas.

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

4 Molelosla liki poun mwet sulallal.

Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”

5 “Yohk lupan nikin ac lohsr lowos! Kowos arulana koluk, Ac nununku suwohs wanginla fin faclu.

They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 Na nga fahk, ‘Kowos god uh, Kowos nukewa wen nutin El Su Fulatlana.’

I said, “You are elohim ·judges, gods·, all of you are sons of haElyon [the Most High].

7 Tusruktu, kowos ac misa oana mwet uh, Ac moul lowos ac safla oana sie fisrak.”

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

8 Fahsru, O God, ac nununku faclu, Tuh mutunfacl nukewa ma lom.

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