Psalms 82

1 God stands in the congregation of the mighty; he judges among the gods.

Zaburi ya Asafu. Mungu anaongoza kusanyiko kuu, anatoa hukumu miongoni mwa “miungu”:

2 How long will all of you judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

“Hata lini utaendelea kuwatetea wasio haki na kuonyesha upendeleo kwa waovu?

3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

Teteeni wanyonge na yatima, tunzeni haki za maskini na walioonewa.

4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

Mwokoeni mnyonge na mhitaji, wakomboeni kutoka mkononi mwa mwovu.

5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

“Hawajui lolote, hawaelewi lolote. Wanatembea gizani; misingi yote ya dunia imetikisika.

6 I have said, All of you are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

“Nilisema, ‘Ninyi ni “miungu”; ninyi nyote ni wana wa Aliye Juu Sana.’

7 But all of you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

Lakini mtakufa kama wanadamu wa kawaida; mtaanguka kama mtawala mwingine yeyote.”

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.

Ee Mungu, inuka uihukumu nchi, kwa kuwa mataifa yote ni urithi wako.
