< Psalms 2 >
1 Why are the nations in tumultuous agitation, and [why] do the peoples meditate a vain thing?
Namoonni maaliif akkanumaan malatu? Saboonnis maaliif waan akkanumaan mariʼatu?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the princes plot together, against Jehovah and against his anointed:
Mootonni lafaa kaʼanii, bulchitoonnis Waaqayyoo fi Masiihii isaatiin mormuuf walitti qabaman;
3 Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us!
isaanis, “Kottaa foncaa isaanii of irraa kukkunnaa; hidhaa isaaniis of irraa hiiknee gannaa” jedhu.
4 He that dwelleth in the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall have them in derision.
Inni samii keessa, teessoo irra taaʼee jiru ni kolfa; Gooftaanis isaanitti qoosa.
5 Then will he speak to them in his anger, and in his fierce displeasure will he terrify them:
Innis aarii isaatiin isaan ifata; dheekkamsa isaatiinis isaan naasisa;
6 And I have anointed my king upon Zion, the hill of my holiness.
innis, “Ani tulluu koo qulqulluu irra, Xiyoon irra, mootii koo teessifadheera” jedha.
7 I will declare the decree: Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; I this day have begotten thee.
Ani seera Waaqayyoo nan labsa: innis akkana anaan jedhe; “Ati ilma koo ti; ani harʼa si dhalcheera.
8 Ask of me, and I will give thee nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the ends of the earth:
Na kadhadhu; ani saboota dhaala kee, handaara lafaas qabeenya kee godhee siifan kenna.
9 Thou shalt break them with a sceptre of iron, as a potter's vessel thou shalt dash them in pieces.
Ati ulee sibiilaatiin isaan cabsita; akka qodaa supheettis isaan hurreessita.”
10 And now, O kings, be ye wise, be admonished, ye judges of the earth.
Kanaafuu yaa mootota, qalbeeffadhaa; bulchitoonni lafaas of eeggadhaa.
11 Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Sodaadhaan Waaqayyoon tajaajilaa; hollachaas gammadaa.
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.
Akka inni hin aarreef, isinis akka karaa irratti hin badneef ilma isaa dhungadhaa; dheekkamsi isaa dafee bobaʼaatii. Warri isatti kooluu galan hundi eebbifamoo dha.
