Psalms 2
1 Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things?
Kwa nini mataifa wanafanya dhoruba, kwa nini watu wanafanya njama ambazo zitafeli?
2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord and against his Christ.
Wafalme wa nchi kwa pamoja hushikilia misimamo yao na watawala kwa pamoja hufanya njama kinyume na Yahwe na kinyume na Masihi, wakisema,
3 Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us.
“Ngoja tuzikate pingu walizo tufingia sisi na kuzitupa pingu zao.”
4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them.
Yeye aketie katika mbingu atacheka kwa dharau mbele yao; Bwana atawadhihaki wao.
5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage.
Kisha ataongea nao katika hasira yake na kuwaogofya kwa gadhabu yake, akisema,
6 But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, preaching his commandment.
“Mimi mwenyewe nilimpaka mafuta mfalme wa Sayuni, mlima wangu mtakatifu.”
7 The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
Nami nitatangaza amri ya Yahwe. Yeye aliniambia, “wewe ni mwanangu! Leo hii nimekuwa baba yako.
8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Uniombe, nami nitakupa wewe taifa kwa ajili ya urithi na mikoa ya nchi iliyo bora kwa ajili ya umiliki wako.
9 Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
Wewe utawavunja wao kwa fimbo ya chuma; kama vile mtungi wa mfinyanzi, wewe utawavunja wao vipande vipande.”
10 And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
Hivyo sasa, ninyi wafalme; mchukue tahadhari; mjirekebishe.
11 Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling.
Mwabuduni Yahwe kwa hofu na mfurahi mkitetemeka.
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.
Mumbusu mwana vinginevyo atawakasirikia, na mtakufa pale pale hasira yake ikiwaka. Ni jinsi gani wamebarikiwa wale wote watafutao usalama ndani yake.
