Zaburi 82

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

A Psalme committed to Aspah. God standeth in the assemblie of gods: hee iudgeth among gods.

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

How long wil ye iudge vniustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

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

Doe right to the poore and fatherlesse: doe iustice to the poore and needie.

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

Deliuer the poore and needie: saue them from the hand of the wicked.

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

They knowe not and vnderstand nothing: they walke in darkenes, albeit all the foundations of the earth be mooued.

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

I haue said, Ye are gods, and ye all are children of the most High.

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

But ye shall die as a man, and yee princes, shall fall like others.

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

O God, arise, therefore iudge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherite all nations.
