Mapisarema 82

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

GOD standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

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

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

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

Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

4 Nunurai vasina simba navanoshayiwa; varwirei paruoko rwowakaipa.

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

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

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

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 nations.
