< Zaburi 2 >

1 Angʼo momiyo ogendini chano timo marach kendo ji chano jiemo kayiem nono?
(Why do the [leaders of] nations rage [against God]?/It is foolish for the nations to be angry [with God]) [RHQ]. (Why do people plan to rebel [against God] even though it is in vain?/It is useless for people to plan to rebel [against God]) [RHQ]!
2 Ruodhi mag piny osebiro kanyakla kendo jotelo pimo wach kaachiel, mondo giked gi Jehova Nyasaye kendo giked gi ngʼate mowir.
The kings of the nations prepare to revolt; the rulers plot together [to fight] against Yahweh and against his chosen king.
3 “Giwacho ni, wachoduru nyorochegi; kendo wawit ratekegi kucha.”
They shout, “We should free ourselves from their control [MET]; we should not let them rule over us any longer!”
4 To Jal mobet e kom loch e polo to nyierogi anyiera, Ruoth goyonegi siboi.
But Yahweh, the one who sits [on his throne] in heaven, laughs [at them]; he ridicules those rulers.
5 Eka okwerogi kokecho kendo obwogogi kopongʼ gi mirima mager, kowacho niya,
Then, because he is angry with them, he rebukes them. He causes them to be terrified when [they realize] that he will furiously punish them.
6 “Aseketo Ruoth ma adwaro e Sayun, goda maler.”
[Yahweh says], “I have installed my king on Zion, my sacred hill [in Jerusalem].”
7 Abiro hulo chenro mag Jehova Nyasaye ma ok lokre: Nowachona niya, “In wuoda; kawuono asedoko wuonu.
[And his king says], “I will proclaim what Yahweh has decreed. He said to me, ‘[It is as though] you are my son; today I have declared to everyone that [it is as though] [MET] I am your father.
8 Omiyo kwaya gima idwaro mondo aket ogendini duto obed girkeni mari, mondo piny ngima obed mwanduni.
Ask me to give you the nations, so that they belong to you [to rule over them permanently], and I will give them to you. [Even] the most remote nations will be yours.
9 Initelnigi kod ludhi mar nyinyo; kendo initogi matindo tindo ka agulu.”
You will defeat them completely [MET]; you will [destroy them like people] smash a clay pot with an iron rod [SIM].’”
10 Kuom mano, un ruodhi, beduru mariek; tangʼuru un joloch mag piny.
So then, you kings and other rulers on the earth, act wisely! [Heed what Yahweh is] warning you!
11 Tiuru ne Jehova Nyasaye gi luoro kendo moruru e nyime gi luoro.
Serve Yahweh, fervently revering him; Rejoice [about what he has done for you], but tremble before him!
12 Bolreuru e nyim Wuowi, nono to dipo kokecho kodu mi dongʼad ndalou, motieku, nimar iye nyalo wangʼ kodu kadiemo wangʼ. Ji duto mogeno kuome gin joma ogwedhi.
Bow down humbly before his son! If you do not do that, Yahweh will be angry, and he will suddenly get rid of you. Do not forget that he can very quickly show that he is very angry! But he is very pleased with all those who request him to protect them [MET].
