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:

Se yon sòm Asaf. Bondye kanpe nan mitan konsèy ki nan syèl la, li kanpe nan mitan bondye yo, l'ap jije.

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

Li di: -Kilè n'a sispann fè mechanste lè n'ap jije? Kilè n'a sispann achte figi mechan yo?

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.

Pran defans pòv malere yo ak timoun ki san papa yo! Pran defans malere yo ak moun ki san sekou yo!

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

Delivre pòv malere ak endijan yo! Delivre yo anba men mechan yo.

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!

Nou sòt, nou pa konprann anyen! N'ap mache nan fènwa. Pa gen jistis sou latè ankò!

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

Mwen te di se bondye nou ye, nou tout se pitit Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la nou ye.

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

Men, nou gen pou nou mouri tankou tout moun, wi, nou gen pou nou mouri tankou nenpòt chèf.

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

Leve non, Bondye, vin jije latè! Paske, se pou ou tout nasyon yo ye.
