Zabbuli 82

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

A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

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

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

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

Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

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

Deliver the poor and needy: deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

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

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

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

I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are 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 one of the princes.

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

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