Faarfannaa 82

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

A psalm of Asaph. God stands in the divine assembly; in the midst of the gods he renders judgment.

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

How long will you judge unjustly and show favoritism to the wicked? (Selah)

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

Defend the poor and fatherless; maintain the rights of the afflicted and destitute.

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

Rescue the poor and needy; take them out of the hand of the wicked.

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

They neither know nor understand; they wander around in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth crumble.

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

I said, “You are gods, and all of you sons of the Most High.

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

Nevertheless you will die like men and fall like one of the princes.”

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

Arise, God, judge the earth, for you have an inheritance in all the nations.
