Mapisarema 82

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

“A psalm of Asaph.” God standeth in God's assembly, He judgeth in the midst of the gods.

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

“How long will ye judge unjustly, And favor the cause of the wicked? (Pause)

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

Defend the poor and the fatherless; Do justice to the wretched and the needy!

4 Nunurai vasina simba navanoshayiwa; varwirei paruoko rwowakaipa.

Deliver the poor and the destitute; Save them from the hand of the wicked!

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

They are without knowledge and without understanding; They walk in darkness: Therefore all the foundations of the land are shaken.

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

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

7 Asi muchafa savanhuwo zvavo; muchawa savatongi vose.”

But ye shall die like men, And fall like the rest of the princes.”

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

Arise, O God! judge the earth! For all the nations are thy possession.
