Zabbuli 82

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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