Salamo 82

1 Salamo nataon’ i Asafa.

— A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge.

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

Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? (Selah)

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

Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous.

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

Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them.

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

They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.

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

I — I have said, 'Gods ye [are], And sons of the Most High — all of you,

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

But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall,

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

Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations!
