Masalimo 82

1 Salimo la Asafu. Mulungu akutsogolera msonkhano waukulu; Iye akuweruza pakati pa “milungu.”

God stands in the congregation of God. He judges among the gods.

2 “Mudzateteza osalungama mpaka liti, ndi kukondera anthu oyipa?

How long will ye judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

3 Tetezani anthu ofowoka ndi amasiye; mukhazikitse ufulu wa anthu osauka ndi ozunzika.

Judge the poor man and the orphan. Do justice to the afflicted and destitute man.

4 Landitsani anthu ofowoka ndi osowa; apulumutseni mʼdzanja la anthu oyipa.

Rescue the poor and needy man. Deliver from the hand of the wicked man.

5 “Iwo sadziwa kanthu, sazindikira kalikonse. Amayendayenda mu mdima; maziko onse a dziko lapansi agwedezeka.

They know not, nor do they understand. They walk to and fro in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 “Ndinati, ‘Inu ndinu Mulungu, nonsenu ndinu ana a Wammwambamwamba.’

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

7 Koma mudzafa ngati anthu wamba; mudzagwa ngati wolamula wina aliyense.”

Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.

8 Dzukani Inu Mulungu, weruzani dziko lapansi, pakuti mayiko onse ndi cholowa chanu.

Arise, O God, judge the earth, for thou shall inherit all the nations.
