Amahubo 82

1 UNkulunkulu uyema enhlanganweni yabahluleli, uyahlulela phakathi kwabonkulunkulu.

A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of God; He judgeth among the gods.

2 Koze kube nini lisahlulela ngokungalunganga, lisemukela ubuso bababi? (Sela)

How long will ye judge unjustly, And respect the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

3 Yahlulelani umyanga lentandane, lilungisele ohluphekayo loswelayo.

Judge the poor and fatherless: Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

4 Khululani umyanga loswelayo, libophule esandleni sababi.

Rescue the poor and needy: Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

5 Kabazi kabaqedisisi, baya le lale emnyameni; izisekelo zonke zomhlaba ziyazamazama.

They know not, neither do they understand; They walk to and fro in darkness: All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 Mina ngathi: Lingonkulunkulu, lonke lingamadodana oPhezukonke.

I said, Ye are gods, And all of you sons of the Most High.

7 Kodwa lizakufa njengabantu, liwe njengesinye seziphathamandla.

Nevertheless ye shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes.

8 Vuka, Nkulunkulu! wahlulele umhlaba; ngoba wena izizwe zonke ziyilifa lakho.

Arise, O God, judge the earth; For thou shalt inherit all the nations.
