Psalms 2
1 Why are the nations plotting rebellion? The peoples devise schemes, but they're pointless.
Mpo na nini bikolo ezali kosala makelele mpe bato bazali kosala makita ya pamba?
2 The kings of the world prepare to attack, and the rulers conspire together against the Lord and his anointed one, saying,
Bakonzi ya mokili batomboki, mpe bakambi basangani mpo na kotelemela Yawe elongo na mopakolami na Ye.
3 “Let's break the chains and throw away the cords that bind us.”
Bazali koganga elongo: « Tokata minyololo na bango mpe tomikangola na bokonzi na bango! »
4 But the one who sits enthroned in heaven laughs. The Lord mocks them.
Kasi Ye oyo avandi na Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi kuna na likolo aseki, Yawe atioli bango.
5 He will thunder at them, and terrify them in his fury, saying,
Agangeli bango na kanda, apelisi kanda makasi na Ye mpo na bango, alobi:
6 “It is I who placed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
« Ezali Ngai nde natiaki mokonzi na Ngai na Siona, ngomba na Ngai ya bule. »
7 “I will proclaim the Lord's decree,” says the king. “He told me, ‘You are my son. Today I have become your father.
Nakosakola mobeko ya Yawe. Alobaki na ngai: « Ozali Mwana na Ngai ya mobali, na mokolo ya lelo, nakomi Tata na Yo.
8 Ask me, and I will give you the nations as your possessions—the whole earth will belong to you.
Senga Ngai, mpe nakokomisa bikolo libula na Yo, basuka ya mokili bozwi na Yo.
9 You will break them with a rod of iron, smashing them like pottery.’”
Okoyangela yango na bokonzi ya ebende, okopanza yango lokola mbeki ya mabele. »
10 So then you kings, be wise! Be warned, you rulers of the world!
Yango wana, bino bakonzi, bozala na mayele; bino bayangeli ya mokili, boyoka likebisi oyo.
11 Serve the Lord in reverence, celebrate with trembling!
Bosalela Yawe na kobanga mpe bosepela na kolenga.
12 Submit to his son so that he will not become angry and you die suddenly. His anger flares up quickly, but how happy are all those who go to him for protection.
Bopesa Mwana na Ye beze, noki te akosilika mpe bokokufa na nzela na bino, pamba te kanda na Ye epelaka noki. Esengo na bato oyo bazwaka Ye lokola ebombamelo na bango.
