Mapisarema 82

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

A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the assembly of God, he judgeth among the gods.

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

How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the person of the wicked? (Selah)

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

Judge the poor and the fatherless, do justice to the afflicted and the 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 on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are moved.

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

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

7 Asi muchafa savanhuwo zvavo; muchawa savatongi vose.”

But 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.
