Psalms 2
1 Why have the Gentiles been seething, and why have the people been pondering nonsense?
Mpo na nini bikolo ezali kosala makelele mpe bato bazali kosala makita ya pamba?
2 The kings of the earth have stood up, and the leaders have joined together as one, against the Lord and against his Christ:
Bakonzi ya mokili batomboki, mpe bakambi basangani mpo na kotelemela Yawe elongo na mopakolami na Ye.
3 “Let us shatter their chains and cast their yoke away from us.”
Bazali koganga elongo: « Tokata minyololo na bango mpe tomikangola na bokonzi na bango! »
4 He who dwells in heaven will ridicule them, and the Lord will mock them.
Kasi Ye oyo avandi na Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi kuna na likolo aseki, Yawe atioli bango.
5 Then will he speak to them in his anger and trouble them with his fury.
Agangeli bango na kanda, apelisi kanda makasi na Ye mpo na bango, alobi:
6 Yet I have been appointed king by him over Zion, his holy mountain, preaching his precepts.
« Ezali Ngai nde natiaki mokonzi na Ngai na Siona, ngomba na Ngai ya bule. »
7 The Lord has said to me: You are my son, this day have I begotten you.
Nakosakola mobeko ya Yawe. Alobaki na ngai: « Ozali Mwana na Ngai ya mobali, na mokolo ya lelo, nakomi Tata na Yo.
8 Ask of me and I will give to you: the Gentiles for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession.
Senga Ngai, mpe nakokomisa bikolo libula na Yo, basuka ya mokili bozwi na Yo.
9 You will rule them with an iron rod, and you will shatter them like a potter’s vessel.
Okoyangela yango na bokonzi ya ebende, okopanza yango lokola mbeki ya mabele. »
10 And now, O kings, understand. Receive instruction, you who judge the earth.
Yango wana, bino bakonzi, bozala na mayele; bino bayangeli ya mokili, boyoka likebisi oyo.
11 Serve the Lord in fear, and exult in him with trembling.
Bosalela Yawe na kobanga mpe bosepela na kolenga.
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.
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.
