Psalms 2
1 Therefore did the heathen rage, and the nations imagine vain things?
Mpo na nini bikolo ezali kosala makelele mpe bato bazali kosala makita ya pamba?
2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers gathered themselves together, against the Lord, and against his Christ;
Bakonzi ya mokili batomboki, mpe bakambi basangani mpo na kotelemela Yawe elongo na mopakolami na Ye.
3 [saying], Let us break through their bonds, and cast away their yoke from us.
Bazali koganga elongo: « Tokata minyololo na bango mpe tomikangola na bokonzi na bango! »
4 He that dwells in the heavens shall laugh them to scorn, and the Lord shall mock them.
Kasi Ye oyo avandi na Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi kuna na likolo aseki, Yawe atioli bango.
5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his fury.
Agangeli bango na kanda, apelisi kanda makasi na Ye mpo na bango, alobi:
6 But I have been made king by him on Sion his holy mountain,
« Ezali Ngai nde natiaki mokonzi na Ngai na Siona, ngomba na Ngai ya bule. »
7 declaring the ordinance of the Lord: the Lord said to me, You are my Son, today have I begotten you.
Nakosakola mobeko ya Yawe. Alobaki na ngai: « Ozali Mwana na Ngai ya mobali, na mokolo ya lelo, nakomi Tata na Yo.
8 Ask of me, and I will give you the heathen [for] your inheritance, and the ends of the earth [for] your possession.
Senga Ngai, mpe nakokomisa bikolo libula na Yo, basuka ya mokili bozwi na Yo.
9 You shall rule them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces as a potter's vessel.
Okoyangela yango na bokonzi ya ebende, okopanza yango lokola mbeki ya mabele. »
10 Now therefore understand, you kings: be instructed, all you that judge the earth.
Yango wana, bino bakonzi, bozala na mayele; bino bayangeli ya mokili, boyoka likebisi oyo.
11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice in him with trembling.
Bosalela Yawe na kobanga mpe bosepela na kolenga.
12 Accept correction, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you should perish from the righteous way: whenever his wrath shall be suddenly kindled, blessed are all they that trust in him.
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.
