Salmi 82

Dio giudica in mezzo ai giudici

Ihubo lika-Asafi UNkulunkulu usesihlalweni emhlanganweni omkhulu; nguye owahlulelayo phakathi kwabo “nkulunkulu”: ²“Koze kube nini livikela ababi na libonakala lithanda izigangi? ³Lamlelani ababuthakathaka lezintandane; melani amalungelo abayanga labahlukuluzwayo.

⁴Lamlelani ababuthakathaka labaswelayo; bephuleni esandleni sababi. ⁵Onkulunkulu kabazi lutho, kabazwisisi lutho. Bayantula emnyameni; zonke izisekelo zomhlaba zixukuxiwe. ⁶Ngathi, ‘Lingo “nkulunkulu”; lonke lingamadodana akhe oPhezukonke.’ ⁷Kodwa lizakufa lingabantu nje; lizakuwa njengamanye amakhosi wonke.” ⁸Phakama, Oh Nkulunkulu, yahlulela umhlaba, ngoba zonke izizwe ziyilifa lakho.
