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:

かみは神のつどひの中にたちたまふ 神はもろもろの神のなかに審判をなしたまふ

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

なんぢらは正からざる審判をなし あしきものの身をかたよりみて幾何時をへんとするや (セラ)

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.

よわきものと孤兒とのためにさばき苦しむものと乏しきものとのために公平をほどこせ

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

弱きものと貧しきものとをすくひ彼等をあしきものの手よりたすけいだせ

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!

かれらは知ることなく悟ることなくして暗中をゆきめぐりぬ 地のもろもろの基はうごきたり

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

我いへらく なんぢらは神なりなんぢらはみな至上者の子なりと

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

然どなんぢらは人のごとくに死もろもろの侯のなかの一人のごとく仆れん

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

神よおきて全地をさばきたまへ 汝もろもろの國を嗣たまふべければなり
