Psalms 2
1 Why have nations assembled tumultuously? And peoples meditate vanity?
Ko e hā ʻoku matalili ai ʻae hiteni? Pea fakalaulauloto ʻae kakai ki he meʻa noa pē?
2 Kings of the earth station themselves, and princes have been united together, against YHWH, and against His Messiah:
ʻOku tuʻu hake fakataha ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo māmani, pea fakakaukau fakataha ʻae kau pule kia Sihova mo ia kuo ne pani, ʻo pehē,
3 “Let us draw off Their cords, And cast Their thick bands from us.”
“Ke tau motuhi ʻena ngaahi haʻi pea liʻaki ʻena ngaahi afo ʻiate kitautolu.”
4 He who is sitting in the heavens laughs, The Lord mocks at them.
Ko ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngaahi langi ʻe kata ia: ʻe manuki ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu.
5 Then He speaks to them in His anger, and in His wrath He troubles them:
Pea te ne toki folofola kiate kinautolu ʻi hono houhau, pea fakamamahiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi hono tuputāmaki lahi.
6 “And I have anointed My King, On Zion—My holy hill.”
Ka kuo u fakanofo ʻeku tuʻi ki Saione, ko e moʻunga ʻo ʻeku māʻoniʻoni.
7 I declare concerning a statute: YHWH said to me, “You [are] My Son, today I have brought You forth.
“Te u fakahā ʻae tuʻutuʻuni:” naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, “Ko hoku ʻAlo koe kuo u fakatupu koe ʻi he ʻaho ni.
8 Ask of Me and I give nations [as] Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth [for] Your possession.
Ke ke lea kiate au, pea te u foaki ʻae ngaahi hiteni ko ho tofiʻa, mo e ngaahi ngataʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani moʻou.
9 You rule them with a scepter of iron, You crush them as a vessel of a potter.”
Te ke maumauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae vaʻa ukamea; pea te ke laiki ke lailai ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ipu ʻumea.
10 And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
Pea ko eni, ke poto ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi tuʻi: pea maʻu ʻae akonaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae kau fakamaau ʻo māmani.
11 Serve YHWH with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
Tauhi ʻa Sihova ʻi he manavahē, pea fiefia ʻi he tetetete.
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!
ʻUma ki he ʻAlo, telia naʻa houhau ia, pea te mou ʻauha mei he hala, ʻoka tupu siʻi pe hono houhau. ʻOku monūʻia ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku falala kiate ia.
