Zaburi 82

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

A psalm for Asaph. God hath stood in the congregation of gods: and being in the midst of them he judgeth gods.

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

How long will you judge unjustly: and accept the persons of the wicked?

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

Judge for the needy and fatherless: do justice to the humble and the poor.

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

Rescue the poor; and deliver the needy out of the hand of the sinner.

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

They have not known nor understood: they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be moved.

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

I have said: You are gods and all of you the sons of the most High.

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

But you like men shall die: and shall fall like one of the princes.

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

Arise, O God, judge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherit among all the nations.
