Zabbuli 82

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

“A psalm of Asaph.” God standeth in God's assembly, He judgeth in the midst of the gods.

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

“How long will ye judge unjustly, And favor the cause of the wicked? (Pause)

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

Defend the poor and the fatherless; Do justice to the wretched and the needy!

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

Deliver the poor and the destitute; Save them from the hand of the wicked!

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

They are without knowledge and without understanding; They walk in darkness: Therefore all the foundations of the land are shaken.

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

I have said, Ye are gods, And all of you children of the Most High;

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

But ye shall die like men, And fall like the rest of the princes.”

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

Arise, O God! judge the earth! For all the nations are thy possession.
