Amahubo 82

1 UNkulunkulu uyema enhlanganweni yabahluleli, uyahlulela phakathi kwabonkulunkulu.

Elohim standeth in the congregation of El; he judgeth among the elohim.

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

How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

3 Yahlulelani umyanga lentandane, lilungisele ohluphekayo loswelayo.

Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

4 Khululani umyanga loswelayo, libophule esandleni sababi.

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

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

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

6 Mina ngathi: Lingonkulunkulu, lonke lingamadodana oPhezukonke.

I have said, Ye are elohim; and all of you are children of the most High.

7 Kodwa lizakufa njengabantu, liwe njengesinye seziphathamandla.

But 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 Elohim, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
