Psalms 82

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

Asaph ih Saam laa. Sithaw loe thacak kaminawk salakah angdoet; sithawnawk salakah lokcaek.

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

Nangcae loe kasae kaminawk to nang sak o haih moe, katoeng ai ah nasetto maw lok na caek o han vop? (Selah)

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

Amtang kami hoi ampa tawn ai kaminawk to abom oh; amtang kami hoi patangkhang kaminawk khaeah toenghaih hoiah lokcaek ah.

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

Amtang kami hoi kangaih kaminawk to pahnawt hmah; kasae kami ban thung hoiah pahlong ah.

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

Nihcae loe tidoeh panoek o ai, panoek thaihaih doeh tawn o ai; kaving thungah amkaeh o; long ohhaih ahmuennawk boih loe cak ai.

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

Kai mah, Nangcae loe long sithaw ah na oh o; nangcae loe Kasang koek ih caa ah na oh o, tiah ka thuih.

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

Toe nangcae loe kaminawk baktiah na dueh o ueloe, ukkung minawk kalah baktiah ni nam tim o toeng tih.

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

Aw Sithaw, angthawk ah loe, long hae lokcaek ah; long kaminawk boih loe nang ih qawktoep kami ah ni oh o.
