Mapisarema 82

1 Pisarema raAsafi. Mwari anogara paungano huru; anotonga pakati pa“vamwari” achiti,

God stands in the congregation of God. He judges among the gods.

2 “Muchasvika riniko muchirwira vasakarurama uye muchisanangura vanhu vakaipa? Sera

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

3 Tongai mhaka dzavasina simba nenherera; chengetedzai kodzero dzavarombo navakadzvinyirirwa.

Judge the poor man and the orphan. Do justice to the afflicted and destitute man.

4 Nunurai vasina simba navanoshayiwa; varwirei paruoko rwowakaipa.

Rescue the poor and needy man. Deliver from the hand of the wicked man.

5 “Havana chavanoziva, havana chavanonzwisisa. Vanongofamba-famba murima; nheyo dzose dzenyika dzinozungunuswa.

They know not, nor do they understand. They walk to and fro in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 “Ndakati, ‘Muri vamwari; imi mose muri vanakomana veWokumusoro-soro.’

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

7 Asi muchafa savanhuwo zvavo; muchawa savatongi vose.”

Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.

8 Simukai, imi Mwari, mutonge nyika, nokuti ndudzi dzose inhaka yenyu.

Arise, O God, judge the earth, for thou shall inherit all the nations.
