Nnwom 82

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

A Psalme committed to Aspah. God standeth in the assemblie of gods: hee iudgeth among gods.

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

How long wil ye iudge vniustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

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

Doe right to the poore and fatherlesse: doe iustice to the poore and needie.

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

Deliuer the poore and needie: saue them from the hand of the wicked.

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

They knowe not and vnderstand nothing: they walke in darkenes, albeit all the foundations of the earth be mooued.

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

I haue said, Ye are gods, and ye all are children of the most High.

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

But ye shall die as a man, and yee princes, shall fall like others.

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

O God, arise, therefore iudge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherite all nations.
