Saame 82

1 Ko e Saame ʻa ʻAsafi. ‌ʻOku ʻafio ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he fakataha ʻoe kau mālohi; ʻoku ne fakamaau ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua.

A Psalm for Asaph. God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst [of them] will judge gods.

2 “ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa mo hoʻomou fakamaau taʻetotonu, pea filifilimānako ki he kakai angahala?” (Sila)

How long will you judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? (Pause)

3 “Fakamaau ʻae paea mo e tamai mate: fai angatonu ki he mamahi mo e masiva.

Judge the orphan and poor: do justice to the low and needy.

4 Fakahaofi ʻae masiva mo e paea: fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu mei he nima ʻoe kau angahala.”

Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor out of the hand of the sinner.

5 ‌ʻOku ʻikai te nau ʻilo, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau fie ʻilo; ʻoku nau ʻalu pē ʻi he poʻuli: kuo ueʻi ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga kotoa pē ʻo māmani.

They know not, nor understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.

6 Naʻaku pehē, “Ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻakimoutolu; pea ko e fānau ʻae Fungani Māʻolunga ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē.

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

7 Ka temou mate ʻo hangē ko e kau tangata, pea tō ʻo hangē ko e tokotaha ʻoe houʻeiki.”

But you die as men, and fall as one of the princes.

8 Tuʻu hake, ʻE ʻOtua, fakamaau ʻa māmani: he te ke maʻu ʻae puleʻanga kotoa pē.

Arise, O God, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.
