Mapisarema 82

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

A psalm of Asaph. God stands in the midst of his great assembly to judge among the gods.

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

How long will you make unfair judgments and show favoritism to the wicked? (Selah)

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

Defend the poor and orphans; support the rights of those who are oppressed and suffering.

4 Nunurai vasina simba navanoshayiwa; varwirei paruoko rwowakaipa.

Rescue the poor and those unable to help themselves; save them from the clutches of evil people.

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

They don't have any wisdom; they live in the dark; the foundations of the earth are shaken.

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

I say, “You are gods; all of you are children of the Most High.

7 Asi muchafa savanhuwo zvavo; muchawa savatongi vose.”

But you will die like any human being, you will fall like any other leader.”

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

Stand up, Lord, and judge the earth, for all the nations belong to you.
