Zaburi 82

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

“A psalm of Asaph.” God standeth in God's assembly, He judgeth in the midst of the gods.

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

“How long will ye judge unjustly, And favor the cause of the wicked? (Pause)

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

Defend the poor and the fatherless; Do justice to the wretched and the needy!

4 Muokoeni maskini na muhitaji; watoeni mkononi mwa waovu.

Deliver the poor and the destitute; Save them from the hand of the wicked!

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

They are without knowledge and without understanding; They walk in darkness: Therefore all the foundations of the land are shaken.

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

I have said, Ye are gods, And all of you 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 the rest of the princes.”

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

Arise, O God! judge the earth! For all the nations are thy possession.
