Psalms 82

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

KE ku mai nei ke Akua iwnena o ke anaina alii; Oia ka i hooponopono iwaena o na akua.

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

Pehea la ka loihi o ko oukou apono ana i ka hewa, A hoolana hoi i ka maka o ka poe lawehala? (Sila)

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

E hoopono oukou i ka mea nawaliwali, a me na keiki makua ole; E hoopololei hoi mamuli o ka poe pilikia, a me ka mea ilihune.

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

E hoopakele oukou i ka mea nawaliwali, a me ka mea nele; E kaili mai hoi ia lakou, mai ka lima mai o ka poe hewa.

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

Aole e ike lakou, aole hoi e hooponopono iho; Holoholo lakou ma ka pouli; Naueue hoi na kumu a pau o ka honua.

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

Olelo aku la au, He poe akua oukou, He poe keiki no hoi oukou na ka Mea kiekie loa.

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

Aka, e make no oukou e like me na kanaka, A e hina hoi e like me kekahi o na'lii.

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

E ku mai oe, e ke Akua, e hooponopono i ko ka honua; No ka mea, e loaa ana no ia oe, iwaena o ko na aina a pau.
