Zaburi 82

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

A Melody of Asaph. God, hath taken his place in the august assembly, In the midst of the gods, will he judge.

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

How long will ye judge perversely, And, the countenances of the lawless, uplift? (Selah)

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

Vindicate the weak and the fatherless, The oppressed and the poor, see righted;

4 Muokoeni maskini na muhitaji; watoeni mkononi mwa waovu.

Deliver the weak and the needy, Out of the hand of the lawless, make rescue.

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

They know not, neither can they perceive, In darkness, they wander, All the foundations of the earth do shake.

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

I, said, Gods, ye are, Yea, sons of the Highest, are ye all;

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

But indeed, like the earth-born, 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 thou the earth, For, thou, wilt inherit all the nations.
