Psalms 2
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
Nu ka ta dukɔwo le nugbe ɖom, eye amewo le nu dzodzrowo ɖom?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against YHWH, and against his anointed, saying,
Anyigbadzifiawo ɖo afɔ anyi sesĩe, eye dumegãwo ƒo ta kpli ɖe aɖaŋu me ɖe Yehowa kple eƒe amesiamina la ŋu.
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
Wole gbɔgblɔm be, “Mina míado le Yehowa kple eƒe amesiamina la te, eye míana ablɔɖe mía ɖokuiwo.”
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: YHWH shall have them in derision.
Ame si woɖo zi dzi le dziƒo la ko nu, eye Yehowa ɖe alɔme le wo ŋu.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Tete wòka mo na wo le eƒe dɔmedzoe me, eye wòdo ŋɔdzi na wo le eƒe dziku helĩhelĩ me hegblɔ be,
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
“Meɖo nye ŋutɔ nye fia ɖe Zion, nye to kɔkɔe la dzi.”
7 I will declare the decree: YHWH hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Maɖe gbeƒã Yehowa ƒe sedede la; Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Wòe nye vinye ŋutsu, egbea mezu fofowò.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Biam, ne matsɔ dukɔwo awɔ wò domenyinui kple anyigba ƒe seƒewo ke awɔ tɔwòe.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
Àtsɔ gafiatikplɔ aɖu wo dzii, eye àxlã wo ɖi, woakaka abe ale si ze gbãnae ene.”
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
Eya ta mi fiawo, midze nunya, eye mi anyigbadzidumegãwo, miɖo to nuxlɔ̃ame.
11 Serve YHWH with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Mitsɔ ɖokuibɔbɔ kple bubu subɔ Yehowa le dzidzɔ gã me kple dzodzo nyanyanya.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
Mitsɔ ɖokuibɔbɔ do ɖe fia la ŋkume, ne menye nenema o la, ado dziku, eye wòatsrɔ̃ mi kpata, elabena eƒe dɔmedzoe ate ŋu afla ɣe sia ɣi. Woayra ame siwo katã tsɔe wɔ sitsoƒee.
