Salamo 82

1 Salamo nataon’ i Asafa.

A Psalm of Asaph. God presides in the divine assembly; He renders judgment among the gods:

2 Mandra-pahoviana no hitsarànareo tsy marina ka ihenaranareo maso ny ratsy fanahy? (Sela)

“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked?

3 Alaharo ny tenin’ ny mahantra sy ny kamboty; omeo rariny ny ory sy ny malahelo;

Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.

4 Vonjeo ny mahantra sy ny malahelo; afaho amin’ ny tanan’ ny ratsy fanahy izy.

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

5 Tsy mahalala na mahazo an-tsaina ireny; ao amin’ ny maizina no andehanany; mihorohoro ny fanambanin’ ny tany rehetra.

They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 Hoy izaho: Andriamanitra ianareo, ary zanaky ny Avo Indrindra ianareo rehetra;

I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’

7 Kanjo ho faty tahaka ny olona ihany ianareo, ary samy ho lavo tahaka ny anankiray amin’ ny lehibe.

But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall.”

8 Mitsangàna, Andriamanitra ô, tsarao ny tany; fa Hianao no handova ny firenena rehetra.

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