Zaburi 82

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

A PSALM OF ASAPH. God has stood in the congregation of God, He judges among the gods.

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

Until when do you judge perversely? And lift up the face of the wicked? (Selah)

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

Judge the weak and fatherless, Declare the afflicted and the poor righteous.

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

Let the weak and needy escape, Deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

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

They did not know, nor do they understand, They habitually walk in darkness, All the foundations of earth are moved.

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

I have said, “You [are] gods, And sons of the Most High—all of you,

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

But you die as man, and you fall as one of the heads.”

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

Rise, O God, judge the earth, For You have inheritance among all the nations!
