Faarfannaa 82

1 Faarfannaa Asaaf. Waaqni, waldaa waaqotaa gidduu dhaabata; “waaqota” gidduuttis murtii kenna; akkanas jedha:

“A psalm of Asaph.” God standeth in God's assembly, He judgeth in the midst of the gods.

2 “Isin hamma yoomiitti seera jalʼiftu? Hamma yoomiittis jalʼootaaf dhaabattu?

“How long will ye judge unjustly, And favor the cause of the wicked? (Pause)

3 Dadhabdootaa fi ijoollee abbaa hin qabneef murtii qajeelaa kennaa; mirga hiyyeeyyiitii fi cunqurfamtootaas eegsisaa.

Defend the poor and the fatherless; Do justice to the wretched and the needy!

4 Warra dadhabaa fi rakkattoota baraaraa; harka jalʼootaatiis isaan baasaa.

Deliver the poor and the destitute; Save them from the hand of the wicked!

5 “Isaan homaa hin beekan; homaa illee hin hubatan. Isaan dukkana keessa jiraatu; hundeen lafaa hundinuu ni raafame.

They are without knowledge and without understanding; They walk in darkness: Therefore all the foundations of the land are shaken.

6 “Anis, ‘Isin, “waaqota;” hundi keessan ilmaan Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii ti’ jedheera.

I have said, Ye are gods, And all of you children of the Most High;

7 Taʼus isin akkuma namatti ni duutu; akkuma bulchitoota kamii iyyuu ni kuftu.”

But ye shall die like men, And fall like the rest of the princes.”

8 Yaa Waaqi kaʼi; lafatti muri; sabni hundinuu kan keetiitii.

Arise, O God! judge the earth! For all the nations are thy possession.
