Psalms 2
1 Why are the nations plotting rebellion? The peoples devise schemes, but they're pointless.
Kwa nini mataifa wanashauriana kufanya mabaya, na kabila za watu kula njama bure?
2 The kings of the world prepare to attack, and the rulers conspire together against the Lord and his anointed one, saying,
Wafalme wa dunia wanajipanga na watawala wanajikusanya pamoja dhidi ya Bwana na dhidi ya Mpakwa Mafuta wake.
3 “Let's break the chains and throw away the cords that bind us.”
Wanasema, “Tuvunje minyororo yao na kuvitupilia mbali vifungo vyao.”
4 But the one who sits enthroned in heaven laughs. The Lord mocks them.
Yeye atawalaye mbinguni hucheka, Bwana huwadharau.
5 He will thunder at them, and terrify them in his fury, saying,
Kisha huwakemea katika hasira yake na kuwaogopesha katika ghadhabu yake, akisema,
6 “It is I who placed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
“Nimemtawaza Mfalme wangu juu ya Sayuni, mlima wangu mtakatifu.”
7 “I will proclaim the Lord's decree,” says the king. “He told me, ‘You are my son. Today I have become your father.
Nitatangaza amri ya Bwana: Yeye aliniambia, “Wewe ni Mwanangu, leo mimi nimekuzaa.
8 Ask me, and I will give you the nations as your possessions—the whole earth will belong to you.
Niombe, nami nitayafanya mataifa kuwa urithi wako, miisho ya dunia kuwa milki yako.
9 You will break them with a rod of iron, smashing them like pottery.’”
Utawatawala kwa fimbo ya chuma na kuwavunjavunja kama chombo cha mfinyanzi.”
10 So then you kings, be wise! Be warned, you rulers of the world!
Kwa hiyo, ninyi wafalme, kuweni na hekima; mwonyeke, enyi watawala wa dunia.
11 Serve the Lord in reverence, celebrate with trembling!
Mtumikieni Bwana kwa hofu na mshangilie kwa kutetemeka.
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.
Mbusu Mwana, asije akakasirika nawe ukaangamizwa katika njia yako, kwa maana hasira yake inaweza kuwaka ghafula. Heri wote wanaomkimbilia.
