Salamo 82

1 Salamo nataon’ i Asafa.

[A Psalm by Asaph.] God presides in the assembly of God. He judges 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?" (Selah)

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

"Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

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

Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of 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, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

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

I said, "You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.

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

Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers."

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

Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.
