Psalms 82

1 Saamu ti Asafu. Ọlọ́run ń ṣàkóso nínú ìpéjọpọ̀ ńlá, ó ṣe ìdájọ́ láàrín àwọn “ọlọ́run òrìṣà”.

A Psalm of Asaph. God presides in the divine assembly; He renders judgment among the gods:

2 “Yóò ti pẹ́ tó tí ìwọ yóò máa gbèjà àwọn aláìṣòdodo kí ó sì ṣe ojú ìṣáájú sí àwọn ènìyàn búburú?

“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked?

3 Gbèjà àwọn aláìlágbára àti aláìní baba; ṣe ìtọ́jú ẹ̀tọ́ àwọn aláìní àti ẹni ìnilára.

Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.

4 Gba àwọn aláìlágbára àti aláìní; gbà wọ́n kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ènìyàn búburú.

Rescue the weak and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.

5 “Wọn kò mọ̀ ohun kankan, wọn kò lóye ohun kankan. Wọn ń rìn kiri nínú òkùnkùn; à si mí gbogbo ìpìlẹ̀ ayé.

They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 “Mo wí pé, ‘Ẹyin ní “Ọlọ́run òrìṣà”; ẹ̀yin ní gbogbo ọmọ Ọ̀gá-ògo jùlọ.’

I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’

7 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin ó kú bí ènìyàn lásán; ẹ̀yin ó ṣubú bí ọ̀kan nínú ọmọ-aládé.”

But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall.”

8 Dìde, Ọlọ́run, ṣe ìdájọ́ ayé, nítorí gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè ni ìní rẹ.

Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your inheritance.
