Nnwom 82

1 Asaf dwom. Onyankopɔn di hene wɔ ɔsoro asafo mu; obu atɛn wɔ “anyame” mu.

A psalm for Asaph. God hath stood in the congregation of gods: and being in the midst of them he judgeth gods.

2 “Wobɛbɔ wɔn a wɔnteɛ ho ban na woayɛ nhwɛanim ama amumɔyɛfo akosi da bɛn?

How long will you judge unjustly: and accept the persons of the wicked?

3 Monka mmɔborɔfo ne ayisaa asɛm mma wɔn; mommɔ ahiafo ne wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so yiyedi ho ban.

Judge for the needy and fatherless: do justice to the humble and the poor.

4 Munnye ɔbrɛfo ne ahiafo; munnye wɔn mfi amumɔyɛfo nsam.

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

5 “Anyame no nnim de, na wɔnte hwee ase. Wokyinkyin wɔ sum mu; na asase fapem nyinaa wosow.

They have not known nor understood: they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be moved.

6 “Mekae se, ‘Moyɛ “anyame;” mo nyinaa yɛ Ɔsorosoroni no mma.’

I have said: You are gods and all of you the sons of the most High.

7 Nanso mubewuwu sɛ nnipa pɛ; na moahwe ase sɛ ɔsodifo biara.”

But you like men shall die: and shall fall like one of the princes.

8 Ao Onyankopɔn, sɔre, bu wiase atɛn; efisɛ amanaman nyinaa yɛ wo de.

Arise, O God, judge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherit among all the nations.
