Psalms 82

1 God gathers all the [rulers and judges who think they are] gods for a meeting in heaven; and he tells them that he has decided this:

Aasafin virsi. Jumala seisoo jumalien kokouksessa, hän on tuomari jumalien keskellä:

2 “You must [RHQ] stop judging [people] unfairly; you must no longer make decisions that favor wicked [people]!

"Kuinka kauan te tuomitsette väärin ja pidätte jumalattomain puolta?" (Sela)

3 You must defend [people who are] poor and orphans; you must act fairly toward those who are needy and those who have no one to help them.

"Auttakaa oikeuteensa vaivainen ja orpo, antakaa kurjalle ja puutteenalaiselle oikeus.

4 Rescue them from the power [MTY] of evil [people] [DOU]!”

Vapauttakaa vaivainen ja köyhä, pelastakaa hänet jumalattomain käsistä.

5 [Those rulers] do not know or understand anything! They are very corrupt/evil, and [as a result of their corrupt/evil behavior], [it is as though] the foundation of the world is being shaken!

Ei ole heillä älyä, ei ymmärrystä, he vaeltavat pimeydessä: kaikki maan perustukset horjuvat.

6 I [the all-powerful God, previously] said to them, “You think you are gods! [It is as though] you are all my sons,

Minä sanon: Te olette jumalia ja kaikki tyynni Korkeimman poikia;

7 but you will die like people do; your lives will end, like the lives of all rulers end.”

kuitenkin te kuolette, niinkuin ihmiset kuolevat, ja kaadutte niinkuin kuka ruhtinas tahansa."

8 God, arise and judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth, because all the people-groups belong to you!

Nouse, Jumala, tuomitse maa, sillä sinä perit kaikki pakanakansat.
