< Zaburi 82 >
1 Zaburi ya Asafu. Mungu anaongoza kusanyiko kuu, anatoa hukumu miongoni mwa “miungu”:
A Psalm of Asaph. God has stood in the synagogue of gods, but, in their midst, he decides between gods.
2 “Hata lini utaendelea kuwatetea wasio haki na kuonyesha upendeleo kwa waovu?
How long will you judge unjustly and favor the faces of sinners?
3 Teteeni wanyonge na yatima, tunzeni haki za maskini na walioonewa.
Judge for the indigent and the orphan. Do justice to the humble and the poor.
4 Mwokoeni mnyonge na mhitaji, wakomboeni kutoka mkononi mwa mwovu.
Rescue the poor, and free the needy from the hand of the sinner.
5 “Hawajui lolote, hawaelewi lolote. Wanatembea gizani; misingi yote ya dunia imetikisika.
They did not know and did not understand. They wander in darkness. All the foundations of the earth will be moved.
6 “Nilisema, ‘Ninyi ni “miungu”; ninyi nyote ni wana wa Aliye Juu Sana.’
I said: You are gods, and all of you are sons of the Most High.
7 Lakini mtakufa kama wanadamu wa kawaida; mtaanguka kama mtawala mwingine yeyote.”
But you will die like men, and you will fall just like one of the princes.
8 Ee Mungu, inuka uihukumu nchi, kwa kuwa mataifa yote ni urithi wako.
Rise up, O God. Judge the earth. For you will inherit it with all the nations.
