Amahubo 82

1 Ihubo lika-Asafi UNkulunkulu usesihlalweni emhlanganweni omkhulu; nguye owahlulelayo phakathi kwabo “nkulunkulu”:

A Psalm of Asaph. God presides in the divine assembly; He renders judgment among the gods:

2 “Koze kube nini livikela ababi na libonakala lithanda izigangi?

“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked?

3 Lamlelani ababuthakathaka lezintandane; melani amalungelo abayanga labahlukuluzwayo.

Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.

4 Lamlelani ababuthakathaka labaswelayo; bephuleni esandleni sababi.

Rescue the weak and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.

5 Onkulunkulu kabazi lutho, kabazwisisi lutho. Bayantula emnyameni; zonke izisekelo zomhlaba zixukuxiwe.

They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 Ngathi, ‘Lingo “nkulunkulu”; lonke lingamadodana akhe oPhezukonke.’

I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’

7 Kodwa lizakufa lingabantu nje; lizakuwa njengamanye amakhosi wonke.”

But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall.”

8 Phakama, Oh Nkulunkulu, yahlulela umhlaba, ngoba zonke izizwe ziyilifa lakho.

Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your inheritance.
