Nnwom 82

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

“A psalm of Asaph.” God standeth in God's assembly, He judgeth in the midst of the gods.

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

“How long will ye judge unjustly, And favor the cause of the wicked? (Pause)

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

Defend the poor and the fatherless; Do justice to the wretched and the needy!

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

Deliver the poor and the destitute; Save 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 are without knowledge and without understanding; They walk in darkness: Therefore all the foundations of the land are shaken.

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

I have said, Ye are gods, And all of you children of the Most High;

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

But ye shall die like men, And fall like the rest of the princes.”

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

Arise, O God! judge the earth! For all the nations are thy possession.
