Zabbuli 82

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

A psalm of Asaph. God has taken his stand in the divine assembly: in the midst of the gods he holds judgment.

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

‘How long will you crookedly judge, and favour the wicked? (Selah)

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

Do right by the weak and the orphan, acquit the innocent poor.

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

Rescue the weak and the needy, save them from the hand of the wicked.

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

‘They have neither knowledge nor insight, in darkness they walk to and fro, while the earth’s foundations totter.

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

It was I who appointed you gods, children of the Most High all of you.

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

Yet like mortals you will surely die, you will fall like any prince.’

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

Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all nations are yours by inheritance.
