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 gathers all the [rulers and judges who think they are] gods for a meeting in heaven; and he tells them that he has decided this:

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

“You must [RHQ] stop judging [people] unfairly; you must no longer make decisions that favor wicked [people]!

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

You must defend [people who are] poor and orphans; you must act fairly toward those who are needy and those who have no one to help them.

4 Molelosla liki poun mwet sulallal.

Rescue them from the power [MTY] of evil [people] [DOU]!”

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

[Those rulers] do not know or understand anything! They are very corrupt/evil, and [as a result of their corrupt/evil behavior], [it is as though] the foundation of the world is being shaken!

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

I [the all-powerful God, previously] said to them, “You think you are gods! [It is as though] you are all my sons,

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

but you will die like people do; your lives will end, like the lives of all rulers end.”

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

God, arise and judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth, because all the people-groups belong to you!
