Mapisarema 82

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

A psalm for Asaph. God hath stood in the congregation of gods: and being in the midst of them he judgeth gods.

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

How long will you judge unjustly: and accept the persons of the wicked?

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

Judge for the needy and fatherless: do justice to the humble and the poor.

4 Nunurai vasina simba navanoshayiwa; varwirei paruoko rwowakaipa.

Rescue the poor; and deliver the needy out of the hand of the sinner.

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

They have not known nor understood: they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be moved.

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

I have said: You are gods and all of you the sons of the most High.

7 Asi muchafa savanhuwo zvavo; muchawa savatongi vose.”

But you like men shall die: and shall fall like one of the princes.

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

Arise, O God, judge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherit among all the nations.
