Psalms 2
1 Why do the nations rage, and the peoples meditate vain things?
Kwa nini mataifa wanafanya dhoruba, kwa nini watu wanafanya njama ambazo zitafeli?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against Jehovah, and against his anointed, saying,
Wafalme wa nchi kwa pamoja hushikilia misimamo yao na watawala kwa pamoja hufanya njama kinyume na Yahwe na kinyume na Masihi, wakisema,
3 Let us break their bonds apart, and cast away their cords from us.
“Ngoja tuzikate pingu walizo tufingia sisi na kuzitupa pingu zao.”
4 He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.
Yeye aketie katika mbingu atacheka kwa dharau mbele yao; Bwana atawadhihaki wao.
5 Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and vex them in his great displeasure.
Kisha ataongea nao katika hasira yake na kuwaogofya kwa gadhabu yake, akisema,
6 Yet I have set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
“Mimi mwenyewe nilimpaka mafuta mfalme wa Sayuni, mlima wangu mtakatifu.”
7 I will tell of the decree. Jehovah said to me, Thou are my Son, this day I have begotten thee.
Nami nitatangaza amri ya Yahwe. Yeye aliniambia, “wewe ni mwanangu! Leo hii nimekuwa baba yako.
8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, and the outermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Uniombe, nami nitakupa wewe taifa kwa ajili ya urithi na mikoa ya nchi iliyo bora kwa ajili ya umiliki wako.
9 Thou shall break them with a rod of iron, thou shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
Wewe utawavunja wao kwa fimbo ya chuma; kama vile mtungi wa mfinyanzi, wewe utawavunja wao vipande vipande.”
10 Now therefore be wise, O ye kings. Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
Hivyo sasa, ninyi wafalme; mchukue tahadhari; mjirekebishe.
11 Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Mwabuduni Yahwe kwa hofu na mfurahi mkitetemeka.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
Mumbusu mwana vinginevyo atawakasirikia, na mtakufa pale pale hasira yake ikiwaka. Ni jinsi gani wamebarikiwa wale wote watafutao usalama ndani yake.
