Psalms 2
1 Wherefore do nations rage, and people meditate a vain thing?
Kwa nini mataifa wanashauriana kufanya mabaya, na kabila za watu kula njama bure?
2 The kings of the earth raise themselves up, and rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed:
Wafalme wa dunia wanajipanga na watawala wanajikusanya pamoja dhidi ya Bwana na dhidi ya Mpakwa Mafuta wake.
3 “Let us break asunder their bands, and cast away from us their cords.”
Wanasema, “Tuvunje minyororo yao na kuvitupilia mbali vifungo vyao.”
4 He who dwelleth in the heavens will laugh: the Lord will hold them in derision.
Yeye atawalaye mbinguni hucheka, Bwana huwadharau.
5 Then will he speak unto them in his anger, and in his displeasure will he terrify them.
Kisha huwakemea katika hasira yake na kuwaogopesha katika ghadhabu yake, akisema,
6 [Saying, ] Yet have I appointed my king upon Zion my holy mount.
“Nimemtawaza Mfalme wangu juu ya Sayuni, mlima wangu mtakatifu.”
7 I will announce the decree, the Lord hath said unto me, “My son art thou: I have indeed this day begotten thee.
Nitatangaza amri ya Bwana: Yeye aliniambia, “Wewe ni Mwanangu, leo mimi nimekuzaa.
8 Ask it of me, and I will give thee nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the uttermost ends of the earth.
Niombe, nami nitayafanya mataifa kuwa urithi wako, miisho ya dunia kuwa milki yako.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; like a potter's vessel shalt thou dash them in pieces.”
Utawatawala kwa fimbo ya chuma na kuwavunjavunja kama chombo cha mfinyanzi.”
10 And now, O ye kings, be wise: take warning, 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 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.
Mbusu Mwana, asije akakasirika nawe ukaangamizwa katika njia yako, kwa maana hasira yake inaweza kuwaka ghafula. Heri wote wanaomkimbilia.
