Nnwom 82

1 Asaf dwom. Onyankopɔn di ɔhene wɔ ɔsoro asafo mu; ɔbu atɛn wɔ “anyame” mu.

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

2 “Wobɛbɔ wɔn a wɔnteneɛ ho ban na woayɛ animhwɛ ama amumuyɛfoɔ akɔsi da bɛn?

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

3 Monka mmɔborɔfoɔ ne nwisiaa asɛm mma wɔn; mommɔ ahiafoɔ ne wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so yiedie ho ban.

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

4 Monnye ɔbrɛfoɔ ne ohiani; monnye wɔn mfiri amumuyɛfoɔ nsam.

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

5 “Wɔnnim hwee, na wɔnte hwee ase. Wɔkyinkyini wɔ esum mu; na asase fapem nyinaa woso.

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

6 “Mekaa sɛ, ‘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, mobɛwuwu sɛ nnipa pɛ; na moahwe ase sɛ sodifoɔ biara.”

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

8 Ao Onyankopɔn, sɔre na bɛbu ewiase atɛn; ɛfiri sɛ amanaman nyinaa yɛ wo dea.

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