< Psalms 2 >

1 Why have the Gentiles been seething, and why have the people been pondering nonsense?
Bila mbi makanda mafuemini e? Bila mbi batu balembo yindudila mambu makambulu fuana e?
2 The kings of the earth have stood up, and the leaders have joined together as one, 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 “Let us shatter their chains and cast their yoke away from us.”
Balembo tubi: “tuzenganu minsinga miawu; tulozanu thama zisieni ziawu.”
4 He who dwells in heaven will ridicule them, and the Lord will mock them.
Mutu wowo wunkalanga ku Diyilu wulembo sevi. Pfumu wulembo basekinina.
5 Then will he speak to them in his anger and trouble them with his fury.
Bosi wulembo bayolukila mu nganzi andi, ayi wulembo kuba monisa tsisi mu miangu miandi mi ngolo.
6 Yet I have been appointed king by him over Zion, his holy mountain, preaching his precepts.
Ayi wutuba: “Minu ndibieka ntinu ama ku Sioni, mongo ama wunlongo.”
7 The Lord has said to me: You are my son, this day 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 to you: the Gentiles 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 will rule them with an iron rod, and you will shatter them like a potter’s vessel.
Wela kuba yadilanga mu nkawa wu sengo; wela kuba bula banga bu mbudikilanga nzungu yi tuma.
10 And now, O kings, understand. Receive instruction, you who judge the earth.
Diawu, beno mintinu, bika luba nduenga. Bosi beno mazuzi ma ntoto, bika lutambula ndongokolo;
11 Serve the Lord in fear, and exult in him with trembling.
lusadila Yave mu lukinzu ayi lumona khini mu lukhuku.
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.
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.
