Zaburi 82

1 Zaburi ya Asafu. Mungu anaongoza kusanyiko kuu, anatoa hukumu miongoni mwa “miungu”:

A Psalm of Asaph. God presides in the divine assembly; He renders judgment among the gods:

2 “Hata lini utaendelea kuwatetea wasio haki na kuonyesha upendeleo kwa waovu?

“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked?

3 Teteeni wanyonge na yatima, tunzeni haki za maskini na walioonewa.

Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.

4 Mwokoeni mnyonge na mhitaji, wakomboeni kutoka mkononi mwa mwovu.

Rescue the weak and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.

5 “Hawajui lolote, hawaelewi lolote. Wanatembea gizani; misingi yote ya dunia imetikisika.

They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 “Nilisema, ‘Ninyi ni “miungu”; ninyi nyote ni wana wa Aliye Juu Sana.’

I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’

7 Lakini mtakufa kama wanadamu wa kawaida; mtaanguka kama mtawala mwingine yeyote.”

But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall.”

8 Ee Mungu, inuka uihukumu nchi, kwa kuwa mataifa yote ni urithi wako.

Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your inheritance.
