Psalms 82

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

A psalm of Asaph. God stands in the divine assembly; in the midst of the gods he renders judgment.

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 favoritism to the wicked? (Selah)

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

Defend the poor and fatherless; maintain the rights of the afflicted and destitute.

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

Rescue the poor and needy; take them out of 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 neither know nor understand; they wander around in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth crumble.

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

I said, “You are gods, and all of you sons of the Most High.

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

Nevertheless you will die like men and fall like one of the princes.”

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

Arise, God, judge the earth, for you have an inheritance in all the nations.
