Masalimo 2
1 Nʼchifukwa chiyani anthu a mitundu ina akufuna kuchita chiwembu? Akonzekeranji zopanda pake anthu?
Why have nations assembled tumultuously? And peoples meditate vanity?
2 Mafumu a dziko lapansi akugwirizana nazo; ndipo olamulira asonkhana pamodzi kulimbana ndi Ambuye ndi wodzozedwa wakeyo.
Kings of the earth station themselves, and princes have been united together, against YHWH, and against His Messiah:
3 Iwo akunena kuti, “Tiyeni timasule magoli awo ndipo titaye zingwe zawo.”
“Let us draw off Their cords, And cast Their thick bands from us.”
4 Wokhala mmwamba akuseka; Ambuye akuwanyoza iwowo.
He who is sitting in the heavens laughs, The Lord mocks at them.
5 Ndipo iye awadzudzula mu mkwiyo wake ndi kuwaopseza mu ukali wake, kunena kuti,
Then He speaks to them in His anger, and in His wrath He troubles them:
6 “Ine ndakhazikitsa mfumu yanga pa Ziyoni, phiri langa loyera.”
“And I have anointed My King, On Zion—My holy hill.”
7 Ine ndidzalengeza zimene Yehova walamula: Iye anati kwa Ine, “Iwe ndiwe mwana wanga; lero Ine ndakhala Atate ako.
I declare concerning a statute: YHWH said to me, “You [are] My Son, today I have brought You forth.
8 Tandipempha, ndipo ndidzachititsa kuti mitundu ya anthu ikhale cholowa chako; malekezero a dziko lapansi kuti akhale chuma chako.
Ask of Me and I give nations [as] Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth [for] Your possession.
9 Iweyo udzawalamulira ndi ndodo yaufumu yachitsulo; udzawaphwanya zidutswazidutswa ngati zowumba zadothi.”
You rule them with a scepter of iron, You crush them as a vessel of a potter.”
10 Kotero, inu mafumu, chenjerani; chenjezedwani, inu olamulira a dziko lapansi.
And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
11 Tumikirani Yehova mwa mantha ndi kukondwerera ulamuliro wake monjenjemera.
Serve YHWH with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
12 Mpsopsoneni mwanayo kuti angakwiye; kuti mungawonongedwe mʼnjira zanu, pakuti ukali wake utha kuuka mʼkanthawi kochepa. Odala ndi onse amene amathawira kwa Iye.
Kiss the Chosen One [[or Son]], lest He is angry, And you perish [from] the way, When His anger burns but a little, O the blessedness of all trusting in Him!
