Amahubo 82

1 UNkulunkulu uyema enhlanganweni yabahluleli, uyahlulela phakathi kwabonkulunkulu.

A Psalm for Asaph. God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst [of them] will judge gods.

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

How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? (Pause)

3 Yahlulelani umyanga lentandane, lilungisele ohluphekayo loswelayo.

Judge the orphan and poor: do justice to the low and needy.

4 Khululani umyanga loswelayo, libophule esandleni sababi.

Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor out of the hand of the sinner.

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

They know not, nor understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.

6 Mina ngathi: Lingonkulunkulu, lonke lingamadodana oPhezukonke.

I have said, Ye are gods; and all [of you] children of the Most High.

7 Kodwa lizakufa njengabantu, liwe njengesinye seziphathamandla.

But ye die as men, and fall as 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 nations.
