Salamo 82

1 Salamo nataon’ i Asafa.

“A psalm of Assaph.” God standeth in the congregation of God, in the midst of judges doth he judge.

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

How long will ye judge unjustly, and treat with favor the face of the wicked? (Selah)

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

Judge uprightly the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and indigent.

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

Release the poor and needy: deliver them out of the power of the wicked.

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

They know not, nor will they understand; in darkness do they walk on: all the foundations of the earth are moved.

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

I have indeed said, Ye are gods; and children of the most High are all of you.

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

But verily like men shall ye die, and like one of the princes shall ye fall.

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

Arise, O God, judge the earth; for thou wilt possess all the nations.
