Zaburi 82

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

A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

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

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

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

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

4 Muokoeni maskini na muhitaji; watoeni mkononi mwa waovu.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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