Psalms 82
Psalms is the Bible's book of songs and prayers — 150 poems of lament, praise, protest and thanksgiving, gathered over centuries. Individual psalms are short, which makes them a natural place to start reading.
神站在有权力者的会中, 在诸神中行审判,
shén zhàn zài yǒu quán lì zhě de huì zhōng , zài zhū shén zhōng háng shěn pàn ,
God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods.
说:你们审判不秉公义, 徇恶人的情面,要到几时呢? (细拉)
shuō : nǐ men shěn pàn bù bǐng gōng yì , xùn è rén de qíng miàn , yào dào jǐ shí ne ? ( xì lā )
“How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?” Selah.
你们当为贫寒的人和孤儿伸冤; 当为困苦和穷乏的人施行公义。
nǐ men dāng wèi pín hán de rén hé gū ér shēn yuān ; dāng wèi kùn kǔ hé qióng fá de rén shī xíng gōng yì 。
“Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
当保护贫寒和穷乏的人, 救他们脱离恶人的手。
dāng bǎo hù pín hán hé qióng fá de rén , jiù tā men tuō lí è rén de shǒu 。
Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”
你们仍不知道,也不明白, 在黑暗中走来走去; 地的根基都摇动了。
nǐ men réng bù zhī dào , yě bù míng bái , zài hēi àn zhōng zǒu lái zǒu qù ; dì de gēn jī dōu yáo dòng le 。
They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
我曾说:你们是神, 都是至高者的儿子。
wǒ céng shuō : nǐ men shì shén , dōu shì zhì gāo zhě de ér zi 。
I said, “You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.
然而,你们要死,与世人一样, 要仆倒,像王子中的一位。
rán ér , nǐ men yào sǐ , yǔ shì rén yí yàng , yào pú dǎo , xiàng wáng zǐ zhōng de yí wèi 。
Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.”
神啊,求你起来审判世界, 因为你要得万邦为业。
shén a , qiú nǐ qǐ lái shěn pàn shì jiè , yīn wèi nǐ yào dé wàn bāng wéi yè 。
Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.
