Faarfannaa 82

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

A psalm of Asaph. God has taken his stand in the divine assembly: in the midst of the gods he holds judgment.

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

‘How long will you crookedly judge, and favour the wicked? (Selah)

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

Do right by the weak and the orphan, acquit the innocent poor.

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

Rescue the weak and the needy, 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 have neither knowledge nor insight, in darkness they walk to and fro, while the earth’s foundations totter.

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

It was I who appointed you gods, children of the Most High all of you.

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

Yet like mortals you will surely die, you will fall like any prince.’

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

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