Psalms 82

1 A Psalm of Asaph. God has stood in the synagogue of gods, but, in their midst, he decides between gods.

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

2 How long will you judge unjustly and favor the faces of sinners?

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

3 Judge for the indigent and the orphan. Do justice to the humble and the poor.

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

4 Rescue the poor, and free the needy from the hand of the sinner.

Munnye ɔbrɛfo ne ahiafo; munnye wɔn mfi amumɔyɛfo nsam.

5 They did not know and did not understand. They wander in darkness. All the foundations of the earth will be moved.

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

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

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

7 But you will die like men, and you will fall just like one of the princes.

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

8 Rise up, O God. Judge the earth. For you will inherit it with all the nations.

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