Psalms 2
1 Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things?
Kwa nini mataifa wanashauriana kufanya mabaya, na kabila za watu kula njama bure?
2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord and against his Christ.
Wafalme wa dunia wanajipanga na watawala wanajikusanya pamoja dhidi ya Bwana na dhidi ya Mpakwa Mafuta wake.
3 Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us.
Wanasema, “Tuvunje minyororo yao na kuvitupilia mbali vifungo vyao.”
4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them.
Yeye atawalaye mbinguni hucheka, Bwana huwadharau.
5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage.
Kisha huwakemea katika hasira yake na kuwaogopesha katika ghadhabu yake, akisema,
6 But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, preaching his commandment.
“Nimemtawaza Mfalme wangu juu ya Sayuni, mlima wangu mtakatifu.”
7 The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
Nitatangaza amri ya Bwana: Yeye aliniambia, “Wewe ni Mwanangu, leo mimi nimekuzaa.
8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Niombe, nami nitayafanya mataifa kuwa urithi wako, miisho ya dunia kuwa milki yako.
9 Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
Utawatawala kwa fimbo ya chuma na kuwavunjavunja kama chombo cha mfinyanzi.”
10 And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
Kwa hiyo, ninyi wafalme, kuweni na hekima; mwonyeke, enyi watawala wa dunia.
11 Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling.
Mtumikieni Bwana kwa hofu na mshangilie kwa kutetemeka.
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.
Mbusu Mwana, asije akakasirika nawe ukaangamizwa katika njia yako, kwa maana hasira yake inaweza kuwaka ghafula. Heri wote wanaomkimbilia.
