< Псалтирь 82 >
1 Бог ста в сонме богов, посреде же боги разсудит.
— A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge.
2 Доколе судите неправду, и лица грешников приемлете?
Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? (Selah)
3 Судите сиру и убогу, смирена и нища оправдайте:
Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous.
4 измите нища и убога, из руки грешничи избавите его.
Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them.
5 Не познаша, ниже уразумеша, во тме ходят: да подвижатся вся основания земли.
They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.
6 Аз рех: бози есте, и сынове Вышняго вси:
I — I have said, 'Gods ye [are], And sons of the Most High — all of you,
7 вы же яко человецы умираете, и яко един от князей падаете.
But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall,
8 Воскресени, Боже, суди земли: яко Ты наследиши во всех языцех.
Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations!
