< Psalms 2 >

1 Therefore did the heathen rage, and the nations imagine vain things?
Ba ham lae namtom rhoek khopo uh tih a poeyoek la namtu te a taeng uh?
2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers gathered themselves together, against the Lord, and against his Christ;
Diklai manghai rhoek boeica rhoek loh thikat la tingtun uh, BOEIPA nehBOEIPAamah kah Messiah te a pai thil uh tih,
3 [saying], Let us break through their bonds, and cast away their yoke from us.
“Amih kah kuelrhui te bawt uh sih lamtah, mamih pum kah rhuivaeh voeih pa sih,” a ti uh.
4 He that dwells in the heavens shall laugh them to scorn, and the Lord shall mock them.
Vaan ah aka ngol Boeipa loh amih te a nueih thil tih, a tamdaeng,
5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his fury.
Te vaengah A thintoek neh amih te a voek tih a thinsa neh amih te a let sak.
6 But I have been made king by him on Sion his holy mountain,
Te dongah kai loh kamah kah manghai te kamah kah Zion tlang cim ah ka hol coeng,” a ti.
7 declaring the ordinance of the Lord: the Lord said to me, You are my Son, today have I begotten you.
BOEIPA loh kai taengah, “Nang tah kamah ca ni, Tihnin ah kai loh nang kan sak,” a ti oltlueh te ka doek ni.
8 Ask of me, and I will give you the heathen [for] your inheritance, and the ends of the earth [for] your possession.
Kai taengah ham bih lamtah namtom boeih te na rho la kam paek vetih na khohut loh kho bawt kho le a pha ni.
9 You shall rule them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces as a potter's vessel.
Amih te thi caitueng neh na talh vetih, amsai kah hnopai bangla amih te na phop ni.
10 Now therefore understand, you kings: be instructed, all you that judge the earth.
Te dongah manghai rhoek lungming la om uh saeh. Diklai laitloek rhoek toel uh laeh.
11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice in him with trembling.
BOEIPA te hinyahnah neh, omngaih neh, thuennah neh thothueng uh.
12 Accept correction, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you should perish from the righteous way: whenever his wrath shall be suddenly kindled, blessed are all they that trust in him.
A capa te mok pah, a thintoek ve, Mikpalap kah a thintoek loh n'dom vetih longpueng ah na milh ve. Anih dongah aka kuep boeih tah a yoethen.
