< Nnwom 82 >
1 Asaf dwom. Onyankopɔn di hene wɔ ɔsoro asafo mu; obu atɛn wɔ “anyame” mu.
A PSALM OF ASAPH. God has stood in the congregation of God, He judges among the gods.
2 “Wobɛbɔ wɔn a wɔnteɛ ho ban na woayɛ nhwɛanim ama amumɔyɛfo akosi da bɛn?
Until when do you judge perversely? And lift up the face of the wicked? (Selah)
3 Monka mmɔborɔfo ne ayisaa asɛm mma wɔn; mommɔ ahiafo ne wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so yiyedi ho ban.
Judge the weak and fatherless, Declare the afflicted and the poor righteous.
4 Munnye ɔbrɛfo ne ahiafo; munnye wɔn mfi amumɔyɛfo nsam.
Let the weak and needy escape, Deliver 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 did not know, nor do they understand, They habitually walk in darkness, All the foundations of earth are moved.
6 “Mekae se, ‘Moyɛ “anyame;” mo nyinaa yɛ Ɔsorosoroni no mma.’
I have said, “You [are] gods, And sons of the Most High—all of you,
7 Nanso mubewuwu sɛ nnipa pɛ; na moahwe ase sɛ ɔsodifo biara.”
But you die as man, and you fall as one of the heads.”
8 Ao Onyankopɔn, sɔre, bu wiase atɛn; efisɛ amanaman nyinaa yɛ wo de.
Rise, O God, judge the earth, For You have inheritance among all the nations!
