Psalms 2

1 Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things?

Bila mbi makanda mafuemini e? Bila mbi batu balembo yindudila mambu makambulu fuana e?

2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord and against his Christ.

Bila mbi mintinu mi ntoto mitelimini e? Bila mbi minyadi mikutikinini va kimosi mu nuanisa Yave ayi mutu andi kavinda mafuta e?

3 Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us.

Balembo tubi: “tuzenganu minsinga miawu; tulozanu thama zisieni ziawu.”

4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them.

Mutu wowo wunkalanga ku Diyilu wulembo sevi. Pfumu wulembo basekinina.

5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage.

Bosi wulembo bayolukila mu nganzi andi, ayi wulembo kuba monisa tsisi mu miangu miandi mi ngolo.

6 But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, preaching his commandment.

Ayi wutuba: “Minu ndibieka ntinu ama ku Sioni, mongo ama wunlongo.”

7 The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.

Ndiela yamikisa lukanu lu Pfumu: Yave wukhamba: “Ngeyo widi muanꞌama. Minu ndibutidi mu lumbu kiaki.”

8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.

Wundombi ayi mandivana makanda; ma maba kiuka kiaku ayi mawu vua ntoto wumvimba nate mu sukisina ntoto beni.

9 Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

Wela kuba yadilanga mu nkawa wu sengo; wela kuba bula banga bu mbudikilanga nzungu yi tuma.

10 And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth.

Diawu, beno mintinu, bika luba nduenga. Bosi beno mazuzi ma ntoto, bika lutambula ndongokolo;

11 Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling.

lusadila Yave mu lukinzu ayi lumona khini mu lukhuku.

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.

Lubumbakana muana mu diambu di kedi fuema; ayi luedi bungana mu nzilꞌeno. Bila mu mbuetolo yi meso nganzi andi yilenda vika wulama. Lusakumunu kuidi batu boso bobo bantombanga suamunu mu niandi.
