Mapisarema 82

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

A Psalm for Asaph. God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst [of them] will judge gods.

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

How long will you judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? (Pause)

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

Judge the orphan and poor: do justice to the low and needy.

4 Nunurai vasina simba navanoshayiwa; varwirei paruoko rwowakaipa.

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

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

They know not, nor understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.

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

I have said, You are gods; and all [of you] children of the Most High.

7 Asi muchafa savanhuwo zvavo; muchawa savatongi vose.”

But you die as men, and fall as one of the princes.

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

Arise, O God, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.
