Saam 2
1 Tipongah Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk loe palungphui o moe, kaminawk loe avang ai hmuen to poek o?
Why this turmoil of nations, this futile plotting of peoples,
2 Long siangpahrangnawk hoi ukkungnawk loe nawnto amkhueng o moe, Angraeng hoi anih mah situi bawh tangcae kami ih lok to aek o,
with kings of the earth conspiring, and rulers consulting together, against the Lord and against his anointed,
3 nihcae ih qui to taprawt pae pat si loe, nihcae ih sumqui doeh vaa pae o ving si, tiah a thuih o.
to snap their bonds and fling their cords away?
4 Vannawk ah anghnu kami loe pahnui tih: Angraeng mah nihcae to pahnuithui tih.
He whose throne is in heaven laughs, the Lord mocks them.
5 To naah anih mah nihcae to palungphuihaih hoiah thuitaek ueloe, kana parai koeh koi kaom ai anghmang thok khosakhaih to phasak tih.
Then he speaks to them in his wrath, and in his hot anger confounds them.
6 Toe kaimah ih kaciim Zion mae nuiah, kaimah ih siangpahrang to kang hnutsak boeh, tiah anih mah thuih.
‘This my king is installed by me, on Zion my holy mountain.’
7 Angraeng mah ang thuih ih lok to ka thuih han; nang loe ka Capa ni; nang loe vaihniah kang tapen boeh, tiah ang naa.
I will tell of the Lord’s decree. He said to me: ‘You are my son, this day I became your father.
8 Na hniah, to tih nahaeloe Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk to nang han qawk ah kang paek han, nihcae loe longboeng khoek to nang ih qawk ah om o tih.
Only ask, and I make you the heir of the nations, and lord of the world to its utmost bounds.
9 Nihcae to sumboeng hoiah na uk ueloe, long laom pakhoih phaeng baktih toengah, nihcae to na vaa phaeng tih.
You will break them with sceptre of iron, shatter them like pottery.’
10 To pongah nangcae siangpahrangnawk, Palungha oh loe, long ukkungnawk thuitaekhaih lok to tahngai oh.
So now, you kings, be wise: be warned, you rulers of earth.
11 Zithaih palungthin hoiah Angraeng ih tok to sah oh loe, tasoeh takuenhaih hoiah anghoe oh.
Serve the Lord in awe, kiss his feet with trembling,
12 Capa to mok oh, to tih ai nahaeloe Anih palungphui ueloe, nang loe loklam hoiah nang hmaa ving tih, anih loe palungphui cadoeh akra mak ai. Anih nuiah amha kaminawk boih loe tahamhoih o.
lest, angry, he hurl you to ruin; for soon will his fury blaze. Happy all who take refuge in him.
