Psalms 2
1 Why are the nations in tumultuous agitation, and [why] do the peoples meditate a vain thing?
Mpo na nini bikolo ezali kosala makelele mpe bato bazali kosala makita ya pamba?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the princes plot together, against Jehovah and against his anointed:
Bakonzi ya mokili batomboki, mpe bakambi basangani mpo na kotelemela Yawe elongo na mopakolami na Ye.
3 Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us!
Bazali koganga elongo: « Tokata minyololo na bango mpe tomikangola na bokonzi na bango! »
4 He that dwelleth in the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall have them in derision.
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 in his fierce displeasure will he terrify them:
Agangeli bango na kanda, apelisi kanda makasi na Ye mpo na bango, alobi:
6 And I have anointed my king upon Zion, the hill of my holiness.
« Ezali Ngai nde natiaki mokonzi na Ngai na Siona, ngomba na Ngai ya bule. »
7 I will declare the decree: Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; I this day have begotten thee.
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 thee nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the ends of the earth:
Senga Ngai, mpe nakokomisa bikolo libula na Yo, basuka ya mokili bozwi na Yo.
9 Thou shalt break them with a sceptre of iron, as a potter's vessel thou shalt dash them in pieces.
Okoyangela yango na bokonzi ya ebende, okopanza yango lokola mbeki ya mabele. »
10 And now, O kings, be ye wise, be admonished, ye judges of the earth.
Yango wana, bino bakonzi, bozala na mayele; bino bayangeli ya mokili, boyoka likebisi oyo.
11 Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Bosalela Yawe na kobanga mpe bosepela na kolenga.
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.
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.
