Zaburi 82

1 Mungu amesimama katika kusanyiko la mbinguni; katikati ya miungu anahukumu.

A Psalm of Asaph. God presides in the divine assembly; He renders judgment among the gods:

2 Hata lini mtahukumu bila haki na kuonesha upendeleo kwa waovu? (Selah)

“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked?

3 Wateteeni maskini na yatima; dumisheni haki kwa aliyetaabishwa na fukara.

Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.

4 Muokoeni maskini na muhitaji; watoeni mkononi mwa waovu.

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

5 Hawajui wala hawaelewi; hutembea gizani; misingi yote ya nchi imebomoka.

They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 Mimi nilisema, “Ninyi ni miungu, na ninyi nyote wana wa Mungu aliye Juu.

I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’

7 Hata hivyo mtakufa kama wanadamu na mtaanguka kama mmoja wa wakuu.”

But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall.”

8 Uinuke, Ee Mungu, uihukumu nchi, maana unaurithi katika mataifa yote.

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