Zaburi 82

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

Elohim standeth in the congregation of El; he judgeth among the elohim.

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

How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

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

Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

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

Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

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

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

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

I have said, Ye are elohim; and all of you are children of the most High.

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

But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

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

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