Mapisarema 82

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

A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of God; He judgeth 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 and fatherless: Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

4 Nunurai vasina simba navanoshayiwa; varwirei paruoko rwowakaipa.

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

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

They know not, neither 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 princes.

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

Arise, O God, judge the earth; For thou shalt inherit all the nations.
