Psalms 82

1 A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of God; in the midst of the judges He judgeth:

Pisarema raAsafi. Mwari anogara paungano huru; anotonga pakati pa“vamwari” achiti,

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

“Muchasvika riniko muchirwira vasakarurama uye muchisanangura vanhu vakaipa? Sera

3 Judge the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

Tongai mhaka dzavasina simba nenherera; chengetedzai kodzero dzavarombo navakadzvinyirirwa.

4 Rescue the poor and needy; deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

Nunurai vasina simba navanoshayiwa; varwirei paruoko rwowakaipa.

5 They know not, neither do they understand; they go about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are moved.

“Havana chavanoziva, havana chavanonzwisisa. Vanongofamba-famba murima; nheyo dzose dzenyika dzinozungunuswa.

6 I said: Ye are godlike beings, and all of you sons of the Most High.

“Ndakati, ‘Muri vamwari; imi mose muri vanakomana veWokumusoro-soro.’

7 Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.'

Asi muchafa savanhuwo zvavo; muchawa savatongi vose.”

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; for Thou shalt possess all nations.

Simukai, imi Mwari, mutonge nyika, nokuti ndudzi dzose inhaka yenyu.
