< Psalms 2 >

1 Why have nations assembled tumultuously? And peoples meditate vanity?
Mpo na nini bikolo ezali kosala makelele mpe bato bazali kosala makita ya pamba?
2 Kings of the earth station themselves, and princes have been united together, against YHWH, and against His Messiah:
Bakonzi ya mokili batomboki, mpe bakambi basangani mpo na kotelemela Yawe elongo na mopakolami na Ye.
3 “Let us draw off Their cords, And cast Their thick bands from us.”
Bazali koganga elongo: « Tokata minyololo na bango mpe tomikangola na bokonzi na bango! »
4 He who is sitting in the heavens laughs, The Lord mocks at them.
Kasi Ye oyo avandi na Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi kuna na likolo aseki, Yawe atioli bango.
5 Then He speaks to them in His anger, and in His wrath He troubles them:
Agangeli bango na kanda, apelisi kanda makasi na Ye mpo na bango, alobi:
6 “And I have anointed My King, On Zion—My holy hill.”
« Ezali Ngai nde natiaki mokonzi na Ngai na Siona, ngomba na Ngai ya bule. »
7 I declare concerning a statute: YHWH said to me, “You [are] My Son, today I have brought You forth.
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 give nations [as] 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 rule them with a scepter of iron, You crush them as a vessel of a potter.”
Okoyangela yango na bokonzi ya ebende, okopanza yango lokola mbeki ya mabele. »
10 And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
Yango wana, bino bakonzi, bozala na mayele; bino bayangeli ya mokili, boyoka likebisi oyo.
11 Serve YHWH with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
Bosalela Yawe na kobanga mpe bosepela na kolenga.
12 Kiss the Chosen One [[or Son]], lest He is angry, And you perish [from] the way, When His anger burns but a little, O the blessedness of all trusting 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.
