诗篇 82
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
祈願 神審判不公的領袖
亞薩的詩。
82 神站在大能者的會中，
在眾神之中施行審判，說：（本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題）
2 “你們不按公義審判，
偏袒惡人，要到幾時呢？（細拉）
3 你們要為貧寒的人和孤兒伸冤，
為困苦和窮乏的人伸張正義。
4 要搭救貧寒和窮困的人，
救他們脫離惡人的手。”
5 他們沒有知識，也不明白，
在黑暗中走來走去；
大地的一切根基都搖動了。
6 我曾說過：“你們都是神，
是至高者的兒子。
7 然而，你們要像世人一樣死亡，
像世上任何一位領袖一樣倒斃。”
8 神啊！求你起來，審判大地，
因為萬國都是你的產業。
Psalm 82
EasyEnglish Bible
This is a psalm that Asaph wrote.
God and the gods[a]
82 God calls the powerful rulers to meet in heaven.
He sits on his throne to judge them.
2 He asks them, ‘How long will you continue to judge people
in a way that is not fair?
How long will you say that wicked people are right?
Selah.
3 You must help poor people and those with no family
to receive justice.
Help those who have pain and trouble
to receive the help that they need.
4 Rescue weak and helpless people,
so that evil people cannot hurt them.
5 The powerful leaders know nothing
and they understand nothing.
They walk about in a dark place.
At the same time the foundation of the earth shakes![b]
6 I said, “You are gods.
You are all sons of the Most High God.
7 But you will die, as all people die.
You will come to an end, like all other rulers.” ’[c]
8 God, now do something!
Judge all the nations of the earth.
For they all belong to you.
Footnotes
- 82:1 This psalm tells about God, who is leading a meeting in heaven. He is telling the powerful leaders how they should rule. These leaders may be rulers on earth, or they may be spiritual beings like angels. Because they are powerful, he calls them ‘gods’.
- 82:5 This tells us that the leaders do not know what they are doing. They are like people who cannot see their way in the dark. Because they do not rule well, it is like the whole earth is shaking. There is no justice anywhere.
- 82:7 The rulers thought that they were very powerful and that they were serving God. But they will die, as all people and rulers have to die one day.
