< Psalms 2 >

1 Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?
Mpo na nini bikolo ezali kosala makelele mpe bato bazali kosala makita ya pamba?
2 The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One:
Bakonzi ya mokili batomboki, mpe bakambi basangani mpo na kotelemela Yawe elongo na mopakolami na Ye.
3 “Let us break Their chains and cast away Their cords.”
Bazali koganga elongo: « Tokata minyololo na bango mpe tomikangola na bokonzi na bango! »
4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them.
Kasi Ye oyo avandi na Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi kuna na likolo aseki, Yawe atioli bango.
5 Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury:
Agangeli bango na kanda, apelisi kanda makasi na Ye mpo na bango, alobi:
6 “I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.”
« Ezali Ngai nde natiaki mokonzi na Ngai na Siona, ngomba na Ngai ya bule. »
7 I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.
Nakosakola mobeko ya Yawe. Alobaki na ngai: « Ozali Mwana na Ngai ya mobali, na mokolo ya lelo, nakomi Tata na Yo.
8 Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession.
Senga Ngai, mpe nakokomisa bikolo libula na Yo, basuka ya mokili bozwi na Yo.
9 You will break them with an iron scepter; You will shatter them like pottery.”
Okoyangela yango na bokonzi ya ebende, okopanza yango lokola mbeki ya mabele. »
10 Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O judges of the earth.
Yango wana, bino bakonzi, bozala na mayele; bino bayangeli ya mokili, boyoka likebisi oyo.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Bosalela Yawe na kobanga mpe bosepela na kolenga.
12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you perish in your rebellion, when His wrath ignites in an instant. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.
Bopesa Mwana na Ye beze, noki te akosilika mpe bokokufa na nzela na bino, pamba te kanda na Ye epelaka noki. Esengo na bato oyo bazwaka Ye lokola ebombamelo na bango.
