Psalms 82

1 A Psalm for Asaph. God stands in the assembly of gods; and in the midst [of them] will judge gods.

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

2 How long will you judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? (Pause)

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

3 Judge the orphan and poor: do justice to the low and needy.

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

4 Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor out of the hand of the sinner.

Munnye ɔbrɛfo ne ahiafo; munnye wɔn mfi amumɔyɛfo nsam.

5 They know not, nor understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.

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

6 I have said, You are gods; and all [of you] children of the Most High.

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

7 But you die as men, and fall as one of the princes.

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

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

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