Mapisarema 82

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

A Psalm by Asaph. God presides in the great assembly. He judges amongst the gods.

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

“How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” (Selah)

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

“Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

4 Nunurai vasina simba navanoshayiwa; varwirei paruoko rwowakaipa.

Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”

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

They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

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

I said, “You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.

7 Asi muchafa savanhuwo zvavo; muchawa savatongi vose.”

Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.”

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

Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.
