Salamo 82

1 Salamo nataon’ i Asafa.

A psalm of Asaph. God stands in the divine assembly; in the midst of the gods he renders judgment.

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

How long will you judge unjustly and show favoritism to the wicked? (Selah)

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

Defend the poor and fatherless; maintain the rights of the afflicted and destitute.

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

Rescue the poor and needy; take 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 neither know nor understand; they wander around in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth crumble.

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

I said, “You are gods, and all of you 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 will die like men and fall like one of the princes.”

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

Arise, God, judge the earth, for you have an inheritance in all the nations.
