< Psalms 2 >

1 Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things?
Lwaki amawanga geegugunga n’abantu ne bateganira obwereere okusala enkwe?
2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, 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 break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us.
“Ka tukutule enjegere zaabwe, era tweyambulemu ekikoligo kyabwe.”
4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them.
Naye Katonda oyo atuula mu ggulu, abasekerera busekerezi, n’enkwe zaabwe ezitaliimu zimusesa.
5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage.
N’alyoka abanenya ng’ajjudde obusungu, n’abatiisa nnyo ng’aswakidde.
6 But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, preaching his commandment.
N’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala nateekawo kabaka owange ku lusozi lwange Sayuuni olutukuvu.”
7 The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
Nzija kulangirira ekiragiro kya Mukama: kubanga yaŋŋamba nti, “Ggwe oli Mwana wange, olwa leero nfuuse kitaawo.
8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Nsaba, nange ndikuwa amawanga gonna okuba obusika bwo, era n’ensi yonna gy’ekoma okuba amatwale go.
9 Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
Olibafugisa omuggo ogw’ekyuma, era olibabetenta ng’entamu y’omubumbi.”
10 And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
Kale nno mubeere n’amagezi mmwe bakabaka; muyige okulabulwa mmwe abafuzi b’ensi.
11 Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling.
Muweereze Mukama nga mumutya, era musanyuke n’okukankana.
12 Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you perish from the just way. When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, blessed are all they that 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.
