< Psalms 2 >

1 Wherefore do nations rage, and people meditate a vain thing?
Mpo na nini bikolo ezali kosala makelele mpe bato bazali kosala makita ya pamba?
2 The kings of the earth raise themselves up, and rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed:
Bakonzi ya mokili batomboki, mpe bakambi basangani mpo na kotelemela Yawe elongo na mopakolami na Ye.
3 “Let us break asunder their bands, and cast away from us their cords.”
Bazali koganga elongo: « Tokata minyololo na bango mpe tomikangola na bokonzi na bango! »
4 He who dwelleth in the heavens will laugh: the Lord will hold them in derision.
Kasi Ye oyo avandi na Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi kuna na likolo aseki, Yawe atioli bango.
5 Then will he speak unto them in his anger, and in his displeasure will he terrify them.
Agangeli bango na kanda, apelisi kanda makasi na Ye mpo na bango, alobi:
6 [Saying, ] Yet have I appointed my king upon Zion my holy mount.
« Ezali Ngai nde natiaki mokonzi na Ngai na Siona, ngomba na Ngai ya bule. »
7 I will announce the decree, the Lord hath said unto me, “My son art thou: I have indeed this day begotten thee.
Nakosakola mobeko ya Yawe. Alobaki na ngai: « Ozali Mwana na Ngai ya mobali, na mokolo ya lelo, nakomi Tata na Yo.
8 Ask it of me, and I will give thee nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the uttermost ends of the earth.
Senga Ngai, mpe nakokomisa bikolo libula na Yo, basuka ya mokili bozwi na Yo.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; like a potter's vessel shalt thou dash them in pieces.”
Okoyangela yango na bokonzi ya ebende, okopanza yango lokola mbeki ya mabele. »
10 And now, O ye kings, be wise: take warning, ye judges of the earth.
Yango wana, bino bakonzi, bozala na mayele; bino bayangeli ya mokili, boyoka likebisi oyo.
11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Bosalela Yawe na kobanga mpe bosepela na kolenga.
12 Do homage to the son, lest he be angry, and ye be lost on the way; for his wrath is so speedily kindled. Happy are all they that put their 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.
