Psalms 2
1 Why have the Gentiles been seething, and why have the people been pondering nonsense?
Ba ham lae namtom rhoek khopo uh tih a poeyoek la namtu te a taeng uh?
2 The kings of the earth have stood up, and the leaders have joined together as one, 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 “Let us shatter their chains and cast their yoke away from us.”
“Amih kah kuelrhui te bawt uh sih lamtah, mamih pum kah rhuivaeh voeih pa sih,” a ti uh.
4 He who dwells in heaven will ridicule them, and the Lord will mock them.
Vaan ah aka ngol Boeipa loh amih te a nueih thil tih, a tamdaeng,
5 Then will he speak to them in his anger and trouble them with his fury.
Te vaengah A thintoek neh amih te a voek tih a thinsa neh amih te a let sak.
6 Yet I have been appointed king by him over Zion, his holy mountain, preaching his precepts.
Te dongah kai loh kamah kah manghai te kamah kah Zion tlang cim ah ka hol coeng,” a ti.
7 The Lord has said to me: You are my son, this day 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 to you: the Gentiles 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 will rule them with an iron rod, and you will shatter them like a potter’s vessel.
Amih te thi caitueng neh na talh vetih, amsai kah hnopai bangla amih te na phop ni.
10 And now, O kings, understand. Receive instruction, you who judge the earth.
Te dongah manghai rhoek lungming la om uh saeh. Diklai laitloek rhoek toel uh laeh.
11 Serve the Lord in fear, and exult in him with trembling.
BOEIPA te hinyahnah neh, omngaih neh, thuennah neh thothueng uh.
12 Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord might become angry, and you would perish from the way of the just. Though his wrath can flare up in a short time, blessed are all those who 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.
