Psalms 82

1 A Psalm by Asaph. God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.

Yon Sòm Asaph Bondye vin kanpe nan mitan pwòp asanble Li a. Li fè jijman nan mitan dye yo.

2 “How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” (Selah)

Pou konbyen de tan nou va jije san jistis, e montre favè a mechan yo?

3 “Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

“Fè defans fèb yo ak òfelen yo. Fè jistis a aflije ak malere yo.

4 Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”

Sove fèb yo ak malere yo. Delivre fè yo sòti nan men a mechan yo.”

5 They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

Yo pa konnen ni yo pa konprann. Yo mache toupatou nan fènwa. Tout fondasyon tè yo fin souke nèt.

6 I said, “You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.

Mwen te di: “Se dye ke nou ye, e nou tout se fis a Pi Wo a.

7 Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.”

Sepandan, nou va mouri tankou moun, e tonbe tankou nenpòt nan prens yo.”

8 Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.

Leve, O Bondye, jije tè a! Paske se Ou ki posede tout nasyon yo.
