Zaburi 82

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

“A psalm of Assaph.” God standeth in the congregation of God, in the midst of judges doth he judge.

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

How long will ye judge unjustly, and treat with favor the face of the wicked? (Selah)

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

Judge uprightly the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and indigent.

4 Muokoeni maskini na muhitaji; watoeni mkononi mwa waovu.

Release the poor and needy: deliver them out of the power of the wicked.

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

They know not, nor will they understand; in darkness do they walk on: all the foundations of the earth are moved.

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

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

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

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

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

Arise, O God, judge the earth; for thou wilt possess all the nations.
