Zabbuli 82

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

— A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge.

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

Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? (Selah)

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

Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous.

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

Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them.

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

They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.

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

I — I have said, 'Gods ye [are], And sons of the Most High — all of you,

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

But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall,

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

Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations!
