Zaburi 82

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

— A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge.

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

Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? (Selah)

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

Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous.

4 Muokoeni maskini na muhitaji; watoeni mkononi mwa waovu.

Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them.

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

They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth.

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

I — I have said, 'Gods ye [are], And sons of the Most High — all of you,

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

But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall,

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

Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance among all the nations!
