Zaburi 82

1 Mungu amesimama katika kusanyiko la mbinguni; katikati ya miungu anahukumu.

A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of God; in the midst of the judges He judgeth:

2 Hata lini mtahukumu bila haki na kuonesha upendeleo kwa waovu? (Selah)

'How long will ye judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

3 Wateteeni maskini na yatima; dumisheni haki kwa aliyetaabishwa na fukara.

Judge the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

4 Muokoeni maskini na muhitaji; watoeni mkononi mwa waovu.

Rescue the poor and needy; deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

5 Hawajui wala hawaelewi; hutembea gizani; misingi yote ya nchi imebomoka.

They know not, neither do they understand; they go about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are moved.

6 Mimi nilisema, “Ninyi ni miungu, na ninyi nyote wana wa Mungu aliye Juu.

I said: Ye are godlike beings, and all of you sons of the Most High.

7 Hata hivyo mtakufa kama wanadamu na mtaanguka kama mmoja wa wakuu.”

Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.'

8 Uinuke, Ee Mungu, uihukumu nchi, maana unaurithi katika mataifa yote.

Arise, O God, judge the earth; for Thou shalt possess all nations.
