Salamo 82

1 Salamo nataon’ i Asafa.

“A psalm of Asaph.” God standeth in God's assembly, He judgeth in the midst of the gods.

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

“How long will ye judge unjustly, And favor the cause of the wicked? (Pause)

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

Defend the poor and the fatherless; Do justice to the wretched and the needy!

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

Deliver the poor and the destitute; 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 are without knowledge and without understanding; They walk in darkness: Therefore all the foundations of the land are shaken.

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

I have said, Ye are gods, And all of you children of the Most High;

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

But ye shall die like men, And fall like the rest of the princes.”

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 thy possession.
