Psalms 2
1 Why are the nations in tumultuous agitation, and [why] do the peoples meditate a vain thing?
Nu ka ta dukɔwo le nugbe ɖom, eye amewo le nu dzodzrowo ɖom?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the princes plot together, against Jehovah and against his anointed:
Anyigbadzifiawo ɖo afɔ anyi sesĩe, eye dumegãwo ƒo ta kpli ɖe aɖaŋu me ɖe Yehowa kple eƒe amesiamina la ŋu.
3 Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us!
Wole gbɔgblɔm be, “Mina míado le Yehowa kple eƒe amesiamina la te, eye míana ablɔɖe mía ɖokuiwo.”
4 He that dwelleth in the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall have them in derision.
Ame si woɖo zi dzi le dziƒo la ko nu, eye Yehowa ɖe alɔme le wo ŋu.
5 Then will he speak to them in his anger, and in his fierce displeasure will he terrify them:
Tete wòka mo na wo le eƒe dɔmedzoe me, eye wòdo ŋɔdzi na wo le eƒe dziku helĩhelĩ me hegblɔ be,
6 And I have anointed my king upon Zion, the hill of my holiness.
“Meɖo nye ŋutɔ nye fia ɖe Zion, nye to kɔkɔe la dzi.”
7 I will declare the decree: Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; I this day have begotten thee.
Maɖe gbeƒã Yehowa ƒe sedede la; Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Wòe nye vinye ŋutsu, egbea mezu fofowò.
8 Ask of me, and I will give thee nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the ends of the earth:
Biam, ne matsɔ dukɔwo awɔ wò domenyinui kple anyigba ƒe seƒewo ke awɔ tɔwòe.
9 Thou shalt break them with a sceptre of iron, as a potter's vessel thou shalt dash them in pieces.
Àtsɔ gafiatikplɔ aɖu wo dzii, eye àxlã wo ɖi, woakaka abe ale si ze gbãnae ene.”
10 And now, O kings, be ye wise, be admonished, ye judges of the earth.
Eya ta mi fiawo, midze nunya, eye mi anyigbadzidumegãwo, miɖo to nuxlɔ̃ame.
11 Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Mitsɔ ɖokuibɔbɔ kple bubu subɔ Yehowa le dzidzɔ gã me kple dzodzo nyanyanya.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, though his anger burn but a little. Blessed are all who have their trust in him.
Mitsɔ ɖokuibɔbɔ do ɖe fia la ŋkume, ne menye nenema o la, ado dziku, eye wòatsrɔ̃ mi kpata, elabena eƒe dɔmedzoe ate ŋu afla ɣe sia ɣi. Woayra ame siwo katã tsɔe wɔ sitsoƒee.
