Psalms 2
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
Kwa nini mataifa wanafanya dhoruba, kwa nini watu wanafanya njama ambazo zitafeli?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, [saying],
Wafalme wa nchi kwa pamoja hushikilia misimamo yao na watawala kwa pamoja hufanya njama kinyume na Yahwe na kinyume na Masihi, wakisema,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
“Ngoja tuzikate pingu walizo tufingia sisi na kuzitupa pingu zao.”
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Yeye aketie katika mbingu atacheka kwa dharau mbele yao; Bwana atawadhihaki wao.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Kisha ataongea nao katika hasira yake na kuwaogofya kwa gadhabu yake, akisema,
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
“Mimi mwenyewe nilimpaka mafuta mfalme wa 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.
Nami nitatangaza amri ya Yahwe. Yeye aliniambia, “wewe ni mwanangu! Leo hii nimekuwa baba yako.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give [thee] the heathen [for] thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth [for] thy possession.
Uniombe, nami nitakupa wewe taifa kwa ajili ya urithi na mikoa ya nchi iliyo bora kwa ajili ya umiliki wako.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
Wewe utawavunja wao kwa fimbo ya chuma; kama vile mtungi wa mfinyanzi, wewe utawavunja wao vipande vipande.”
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
Hivyo sasa, ninyi wafalme; mchukue tahadhari; mjirekebishe.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Mwabuduni Yahwe kwa hofu na mfurahi mkitetemeka.
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.
Mumbusu mwana vinginevyo atawakasirikia, na mtakufa pale pale hasira yake ikiwaka. Ni jinsi gani wamebarikiwa wale wote watafutao usalama ndani yake.
