Zaburi 82

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

A Psalm. Of Asaph. God is in the meeting-place of God; he is judging among the gods.

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

How long will you go on judging falsely, having respect for the persons of evil-doers? (Selah)

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

Give ear to the cause of the poor and the children without fathers; let those who are troubled and in need have their rights.

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

Be the saviour of the poor and those who have nothing: take them out of the hand of the evil-doers.

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

They have no knowledge or sense; they go about in the dark: all the bases of the earth are moved.

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

I said, You are gods; all of you are the sons of the Most High:

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

But you will come to death like men, falling like one of the rulers of the earth.

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

Up! O God, come as judge of the earth; for all the nations are your heritage.
