Psalms 2
1 Why have the Gentiles been seething, and why have the people been pondering nonsense?
Lwaki amawanga geegugunga n’abantu ne bateganira obwereere okusala enkwe?
2 The kings of the earth have stood up, and the leaders have joined together as one, against the Lord and against his Christ:
Bakabaka ab’ensi bakuŋŋaanye, n’abafuzi ne bateeseza wamu ku Mukama ne ku Kristo we, nga bagamba nti,
3 “Let us shatter their chains and cast their yoke away from us.”
“Ka tukutule enjegere zaabwe, era tweyambulemu ekikoligo kyabwe.”
4 He who dwells in heaven will ridicule them, and the Lord will mock them.
Naye Katonda oyo atuula mu ggulu, abasekerera busekerezi, n’enkwe zaabwe ezitaliimu zimusesa.
5 Then will he speak to them in his anger and trouble them with his fury.
N’alyoka abanenya ng’ajjudde obusungu, n’abatiisa nnyo ng’aswakidde.
6 Yet I have been appointed king by him over Zion, his holy mountain, preaching his precepts.
N’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala nateekawo kabaka owange ku lusozi lwange Sayuuni olutukuvu.”
7 The Lord has said to me: You are my son, this day have I begotten you.
Nzija kulangirira ekiragiro kya Mukama: kubanga yaŋŋamba nti, “Ggwe oli Mwana wange, olwa leero nfuuse kitaawo.
8 Ask of me and I will give to you: the Gentiles for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession.
Nsaba, nange ndikuwa amawanga gonna okuba obusika bwo, era n’ensi yonna gy’ekoma okuba amatwale go.
9 You will rule them with an iron rod, and you will shatter them like a potter’s vessel.
Olibafugisa omuggo ogw’ekyuma, era olibabetenta ng’entamu y’omubumbi.”
10 And now, O kings, understand. Receive instruction, you who judge the earth.
Kale nno mubeere n’amagezi mmwe bakabaka; muyige okulabulwa mmwe abafuzi b’ensi.
11 Serve the Lord in fear, and exult in him with trembling.
Muweereze Mukama nga mumutya, era musanyuke n’okukankana.
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.
Mwanirize Omwana, mumusembeze Mukama aleme okubasunguwalira n’okubazikiriza nga muli mu kkubo lyammwe; kubanga obusungu bwe bubuubuuka mangu. Kyokka bonna abaddukira gy’ali balina omukisa.
