Psalms 2
1 Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot in vain?
Kwa nini mataifa wanashauriana kufanya mabaya, na kabila za watu kula njama bure?
2 The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against YHWH, and against his Anointed:
Wafalme wa dunia wanajipanga na watawala wanajikusanya pamoja dhidi ya Bwana na dhidi ya Mpakwa Mafuta wake.
3 "Let's tear off their shackles, and throw off their ropes from us."
Wanasema, “Tuvunje minyororo yao na kuvitupilia mbali vifungo vyao.”
4 The one who sits in the heavens laughs. YHWH scoffs at them.
Yeye atawalaye mbinguni hucheka, Bwana huwadharau.
5 Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath:
Kisha huwakemea katika hasira yake na kuwaogopesha katika ghadhabu yake, akisema,
6 "But I myself have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain."
“Nimemtawaza Mfalme wangu juu ya Sayuni, mlima wangu mtakatifu.”
7 I will tell of the decree. YHWH said to me, "You are my son. Today I have become your father.
Nitatangaza amri ya Bwana: Yeye aliniambia, “Wewe ni Mwanangu, leo mimi nimekuzaa.
8 Ask of me, and I will give the nations as your inheritance, and the farthest parts of the earth for your possession.
Niombe, nami nitayafanya mataifa kuwa urithi wako, miisho ya dunia kuwa milki yako.
9 You shall rule them with an iron scepter. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."
Utawatawala kwa fimbo ya chuma na kuwavunjavunja kama chombo cha mfinyanzi.”
10 Now therefore, you kings, be wise; receive correction, you judges of the earth.
Kwa hiyo, ninyi wafalme, kuweni na hekima; mwonyeke, enyi watawala wa dunia.
11 Serve YHWH with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Mtumikieni Bwana kwa hofu na mshangilie kwa kutetemeka.
12 Do homage in purity, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, when his anger is suddenly kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
Mbusu Mwana, asije akakasirika nawe ukaangamizwa katika njia yako, kwa maana hasira yake inaweza kuwaka ghafula. Heri wote wanaomkimbilia.
