Psalms 2
1 Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot in vain?
Kwa nini mataifa wanafanya dhoruba, kwa nini watu wanafanya njama ambazo zitafeli?
2 The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against YHWH, and against his Anointed:
Wafalme wa nchi kwa pamoja hushikilia misimamo yao na watawala kwa pamoja hufanya njama kinyume na Yahwe na kinyume na Masihi, wakisema,
3 "Let's tear off their shackles, and throw off their ropes from us."
“Ngoja tuzikate pingu walizo tufingia sisi na kuzitupa pingu zao.”
4 The one who sits in the heavens laughs. YHWH scoffs at them.
Yeye aketie katika mbingu atacheka kwa dharau mbele yao; Bwana atawadhihaki wao.
5 Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath:
Kisha ataongea nao katika hasira yake na kuwaogofya kwa gadhabu yake, akisema,
6 "But I myself have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain."
“Mimi mwenyewe nilimpaka mafuta mfalme wa 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.
Nami nitatangaza amri ya Yahwe. Yeye aliniambia, “wewe ni mwanangu! Leo hii nimekuwa baba yako.
8 Ask of me, and I will give the nations as your inheritance, and the farthest parts 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 shall rule them with an iron scepter. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."
Wewe utawavunja wao kwa fimbo ya chuma; kama vile mtungi wa mfinyanzi, wewe utawavunja wao vipande vipande.”
10 Now therefore, you kings, be wise; receive correction, you judges of the 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 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.
Mumbusu mwana vinginevyo atawakasirikia, na mtakufa pale pale hasira yake ikiwaka. Ni jinsi gani wamebarikiwa wale wote watafutao usalama ndani yake.
