आसापको एउटा भजन।

परमेश्वर अन्य देवताहरूको सभामा उभिनु हुन्छ।
    उहाँ त्यस सभाको प्रमुख न्यायकर्ता हुनुहुन्छ।
परमेश्वर भन्नुहुन्छ, “तिमीहरूले कहिले सम्म मानिसहरूलाई पक्षपाती न्याय गर्नेछौ?
    कहिले सम्म तिमीहरूले दुष्ट मानिसहरूलाई कुनै प्रकारको दण्ड नदिइकन छोडी दिन्छौं?”

“गरीब र टुहुरा-टुहरी मानिसहरूको रक्षा गर।
    ती गरीब मानिसहरूका अधिकारको रक्षा गर।
ती गरीब र असहाय मानिसहरूलाई सहयोग गर।
    दुष्ट मानिसहरूबाट तिनीहरूलाई बँचाऊ।

“तिनीहरू के भइरहेछ त्यो पनि जान्दैनन्।
    तिनीहरू बुझ्दैनन्!
तिनीहरू स्वयं गरिरहेका छन्, त्यो पनि बुझ्दैनन्,
    तिनीहरूको संसार तिनीहरूकै चारैतिर झरी सक्यो वा झर्दै गइरहेछ!”
म सर्वशक्तिमान परमेश्वर भन्दछु,
    “तिमीहरू देवताहरू, सर्वशक्तिमान परमेश्वरको छोराहरू हौ।
तर तिमीहरू मर्नेछौ
    जसरी अन्य अगुवाहरू मर्दछन्।”

हे परमेश्वर, उठ्नु होस्! तपाईं न्यायकर्ता हुनुहोस्।
    तपाईं सबै जातिहरूमा अगुवा हुनुहोस्।

Psalm 82

A psalm of Asaph.

God presides in the great assembly;
    he renders judgment(A) among the “gods”:(B)

“How long will you[a] defend the unjust
    and show partiality(C) to the wicked?[b](D)
Defend the weak and the fatherless;(E)
    uphold the cause of the poor(F) and the oppressed.
Rescue the weak and the needy;
    deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

“The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing.(G)
    They walk about in darkness;(H)
    all the foundations(I) of the earth are shaken.

“I said, ‘You are “gods”;(J)
    you are all sons of the Most High.’
But you will die(K) like mere mortals;
    you will fall like every other ruler.”

Rise up,(L) O God, judge(M) the earth,
    for all the nations are your inheritance.(N)

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 82:2 The Hebrew is plural.
  2. Psalm 82:2 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here.

82 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.

Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

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

Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
