Zabbuli 82

1 Zabbuli ya Asafu. Katonda akubiriza olukiiko lwe olukulu olw’omu ggulu, ng’alamula bakatonda.

God stands in the congregation of God. He judges among the gods.

2 Mulituusa ddi okusala emisango n’obukuusa, nga musalira abanafu?

How long will ye judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

3 Abanafu n’abatalina bakitaabwe mubalamulenga mu bwenkanya; abaavu n’abanyigirizibwa mubayambenga mu bwenkanya.

Judge the poor man and the orphan. Do justice to the afflicted and destitute man.

4 Mulwanirire abatalina maanyi n’abali mu kwetaaga, mubawonye; mubanunule nga mubaggya mu mikono gy’ababi.

Rescue the poor and needy man. Deliver from the hand of the wicked man.

5 Tebalina kye bamanyi, era tebategeera. Batambulira mu kizikiza; emisingi gy’ensi gyonna ginyeenyezebwa.

They know not, nor do they understand. They walk to and fro in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 Njogedde nti, Muli bakatonda, era mwenna muli baana b’oyo Ali Waggulu Ennyo.

I said, Ye are gods, and all of you sons of the Most High.

7 “Naye mugenda kufa ng’abantu obuntu; muliggwaawo ng’abafuzi abalala bonna bwe baggwaawo.”

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

8 Ogolokoke, Ayi Katonda, olamule ensi; kubanga amawanga gonna gago.

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