Psalms 2

1 Therefore did the heathen rage, and the nations imagine vain things?

Bila mbi makanda mafuemini e? Bila mbi batu balembo yindudila mambu makambulu fuana e?

2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers gathered themselves together, against the Lord, and against his Christ;

Bila mbi mintinu mi ntoto mitelimini e? Bila mbi minyadi mikutikinini va kimosi mu nuanisa Yave ayi mutu andi kavinda mafuta e?

3 [saying], Let us break through their bonds, and cast away their yoke from us.

Balembo tubi: “tuzenganu minsinga miawu; tulozanu thama zisieni ziawu.”

4 He that dwells in the heavens shall laugh them to scorn, and the Lord shall mock them.

Mutu wowo wunkalanga ku Diyilu wulembo sevi. Pfumu wulembo basekinina.

5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his fury.

Bosi wulembo bayolukila mu nganzi andi, ayi wulembo kuba monisa tsisi mu miangu miandi mi ngolo.

6 But I have been made king by him on Sion his holy mountain,

Ayi wutuba: “Minu ndibieka ntinu ama ku Sioni, mongo ama wunlongo.”

7 declaring the ordinance of the Lord: the Lord said to me, You are my Son, today have I begotten you.

Ndiela yamikisa lukanu lu Pfumu: Yave wukhamba: “Ngeyo widi muanꞌama. Minu ndibutidi mu lumbu kiaki.”

8 Ask of me, and I will give you the heathen [for] your inheritance, and the ends of the earth [for] your possession.

Wundombi ayi mandivana makanda; ma maba kiuka kiaku ayi mawu vua ntoto wumvimba nate mu sukisina ntoto beni.

9 You shall rule them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces as a potter's vessel.

Wela kuba yadilanga mu nkawa wu sengo; wela kuba bula banga bu mbudikilanga nzungu yi tuma.

10 Now therefore understand, you kings: be instructed, all you that judge the earth.

Diawu, beno mintinu, bika luba nduenga. Bosi beno mazuzi ma ntoto, bika lutambula ndongokolo;

11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice in him with trembling.

lusadila Yave mu lukinzu ayi lumona khini mu lukhuku.

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.

Lubumbakana muana mu diambu di kedi fuema; ayi luedi bungana mu nzilꞌeno. Bila mu mbuetolo yi meso nganzi andi yilenda vika wulama. Lusakumunu kuidi batu boso bobo bantombanga suamunu mu niandi.
