Psalms 2
1 Why have nations assembled tumultuously? And peoples meditate vanity?
Kwa nini mataifa wanafanya dhoruba, kwa nini watu wanafanya njama ambazo zitafeli?
2 Kings of the earth station themselves, and princes have been united together, against YHWH, and against His Messiah:
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 draw off Their cords, And cast Their thick bands from us.”
“Ngoja tuzikate pingu walizo tufingia sisi na kuzitupa pingu zao.”
4 He who is sitting in the heavens laughs, The Lord mocks at them.
Yeye aketie katika mbingu atacheka kwa dharau mbele yao; Bwana atawadhihaki wao.
5 Then He speaks to them in His anger, and in His wrath He troubles them:
Kisha ataongea nao katika hasira yake na kuwaogofya kwa gadhabu yake, akisema,
6 “And I have anointed My King, On Zion—My holy hill.”
“Mimi mwenyewe nilimpaka mafuta mfalme wa Sayuni, mlima wangu mtakatifu.”
7 I declare concerning a statute: YHWH said to me, “You [are] My Son, today I have brought You forth.
Nami nitatangaza amri ya Yahwe. Yeye aliniambia, “wewe ni mwanangu! Leo hii nimekuwa baba yako.
8 Ask of Me and I give nations [as] Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth [for] Your possession.
Uniombe, nami nitakupa wewe taifa kwa ajili ya urithi na mikoa ya nchi iliyo bora kwa ajili ya umiliki wako.
9 You rule them with a scepter of iron, You crush them as a vessel of a potter.”
Wewe utawavunja wao kwa fimbo ya chuma; kama vile mtungi wa mfinyanzi, wewe utawavunja wao vipande vipande.”
10 And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
Hivyo sasa, ninyi wafalme; mchukue tahadhari; mjirekebishe.
11 Serve YHWH with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
Mwabuduni Yahwe kwa hofu na mfurahi mkitetemeka.
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!
Mumbusu mwana vinginevyo atawakasirikia, na mtakufa pale pale hasira yake ikiwaka. Ni jinsi gani wamebarikiwa wale wote watafutao usalama ndani yake.
