Psalms 82

1 A Psalm by Asaph. God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.

Asaf dwom. Onyankopɔn di hene wɔ ɔsoro asafo mu; obu atɛn wɔ “anyame” mu.

2 “How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” (Selah)

“Wobɛbɔ wɔn a wɔnteɛ ho ban na woayɛ nhwɛanim ama amumɔyɛfo akosi da bɛn?

3 “Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

Monka mmɔborɔfo ne ayisaa asɛm mma wɔn; mommɔ ahiafo ne wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn so yiyedi ho ban.

4 Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”

Munnye ɔbrɛfo ne ahiafo; munnye wɔn mfi amumɔyɛfo nsam.

5 They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

“Anyame no nnim de, na wɔnte hwee ase. Wokyinkyin wɔ sum mu; na asase fapem nyinaa wosow.

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

“Mekae se, ‘Moyɛ “anyame;” mo nyinaa yɛ Ɔsorosoroni no mma.’

7 Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.”

Nanso mubewuwu sɛ nnipa pɛ; na moahwe ase sɛ ɔsodifo biara.”

8 Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.

Ao Onyankopɔn, sɔre, bu wiase atɛn; efisɛ amanaman nyinaa yɛ wo de.
