Salmos 82

Ko te Atua te Rangatira Tino Nui

He hīmene nā Āhapa.

1 E tū ana te Atua i roto i te whakaminenga o te Atua,

e whakawā ana i waenganui i ngā atua:

2 "Kia pēhea ake te roa o tā koutou whakawā hē,

o tā koutou whakapai ki ngā kanohi o te hunga kino. Hera

3 Whakatikaia tā te ware, tā te pani;

kia tika te whakawā mō te ngākau mamae, mō te rawakore.

4 Whakaorangia te ware me te rawakore;

tangohia mai rātou i te ringa o te tangata kino.

5 "Kāhore ō rātou mātauranga, kāhore hoki e mahara;

e kōpikopiko noa ana rātou i te pōuri;

e oioi ana ngā tūranga katoa o te whenua.

6 "I mea ahau, ‘He atua koutou,

he tama katoa nā te Runga Rawa.’

7 Heoi, ka pērā koutou me te tangata, ka mate;

ka hinga, ka pērā me tētahi o ngā piriniha."

8 E ara, e te Atua, whakawākia te whenua;

mōu hoki ngā tauiwi katoa!

A Psalm of Asaph.

1 God standeth in the congregation of God;

He judgeth among the gods.

2 How long will ye judge unjustly,

And respect the persons of the wicked? [Selah

3 Judge the poor and fatherless:

Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

4 Rescue the poor and needy:

Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

5 They know not, neither do they understand;

They walk to and fro in darkness:

All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 I said, Ye are gods,

And all of you sons of the Most High.

7 Nevertheless ye shall die like men,

And fall like one of the princes.

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth;

For thou shalt inherit all the nations.
