Psalms 2
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
Kwa nini mataifa wanashauriana kufanya mabaya, na kabila za watu kula njama bure?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, [saying],
Wafalme wa dunia wanajipanga na watawala wanajikusanya pamoja dhidi ya Bwana na dhidi ya Mpakwa Mafuta wake.
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
Wanasema, “Tuvunje minyororo yao na kuvitupilia mbali vifungo vyao.”
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Yeye atawalaye mbinguni hucheka, Bwana huwadharau.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Kisha huwakemea katika hasira yake na kuwaogopesha katika ghadhabu yake, akisema,
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
“Nimemtawaza Mfalme wangu juu ya Sayuni, mlima wangu mtakatifu.”
7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou [art] my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Nitatangaza amri ya Bwana: Yeye aliniambia, “Wewe ni Mwanangu, leo mimi nimekuzaa.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give [thee] the heathen [for] thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth [for] thy possession.
Niombe, nami nitayafanya mataifa kuwa urithi wako, miisho ya dunia kuwa milki yako.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
Utawatawala kwa fimbo ya chuma na kuwavunjavunja kama chombo cha mfinyanzi.”
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
Kwa hiyo, ninyi wafalme, kuweni na hekima; mwonyeke, enyi watawala wa dunia.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Mtumikieni Bwana kwa hofu na mshangilie kwa kutetemeka.
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.
Mbusu Mwana, asije akakasirika nawe ukaangamizwa katika njia yako, kwa maana hasira yake inaweza kuwaka ghafula. Heri wote wanaomkimbilia.
