Zaburi 82

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

A psalm of Asaph. God has taken his stand in the divine assembly: in the midst of the gods he holds judgment.

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

‘How long will you crookedly judge, and favour the wicked? (Selah)

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

Do right by the weak and the orphan, acquit the innocent poor.

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

Rescue the weak and the needy, save them from the hand of the wicked.

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

‘They have neither knowledge nor insight, in darkness they walk to and fro, while the earth’s foundations totter.

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

It was I who appointed you gods, children of the Most High all of you.

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

Yet like mortals you will surely die, you will fall like any prince.’

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

Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all nations are yours by inheritance.
