Zaburi 82

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

A psalm of Asaph. God stands in the midst of his great assembly to judge among the gods.

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

How long will you make unfair judgments and show favoritism to the wicked? (Selah)

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

Defend the poor and orphans; support the rights of those who are oppressed and suffering.

4 Muokoeni maskini na muhitaji; watoeni mkononi mwa waovu.

Rescue the poor and those unable to help themselves; save them from the clutches of evil people.

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

They don't have any wisdom; they live in the dark; the foundations of the earth are shaken.

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

I say, “You are gods; all of you are children of the Most High.

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

But you will die like any human being, you will fall like any other leader.”

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

Stand up, Lord, and judge the earth, for all the nations belong to you.
