< Psalms 2 >

1 Why do the nations rage, and the peoples imagine a vain thing?
Bila mbi makanda mafuemini e? Bila mbi batu balembo yindudila mambu makambulu fuana e?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, [saying],
Bila mbi mintinu mi ntoto mitelimini e? Bila mbi minyadi mikutikinini va kimosi mu nuanisa Yave ayi mutu andi kavinda mafuta e?
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
Balembo tubi: “tuzenganu minsinga miawu; tulozanu thama zisieni ziawu.”
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Mutu wowo wunkalanga ku Diyilu wulembo sevi. Pfumu wulembo basekinina.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure:
Bosi wulembo bayolukila mu nganzi andi, ayi wulembo kuba monisa tsisi mu miangu miandi mi ngolo.
6 Yet I have set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
Ayi wutuba: “Minu ndibieka ntinu ama ku Sioni, mongo ama wunlongo.”
7 I will tell of the decree: the LORD said unto me, Thou art my son; this day have I begotten thee.
Ndiela yamikisa lukanu lu Pfumu: Yave wukhamba: “Ngeyo widi muanꞌama. Minu ndibutidi mu lumbu kiaki.”
8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Wundombi ayi mandivana makanda; ma maba kiuka kiaku ayi mawu vua ntoto wumvimba nate mu sukisina ntoto beni.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
Wela kuba yadilanga mu nkawa wu sengo; wela kuba bula banga bu mbudikilanga nzungu yi tuma.
10 Now therefore be wise, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
Diawu, beno mintinu, bika luba nduenga. Bosi beno mazuzi ma ntoto, bika lutambula ndongokolo;
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
lusadila Yave mu lukinzu ayi lumona khini mu lukhuku.
12 Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
Lubumbakana muana mu diambu di kedi fuema; ayi luedi bungana mu nzilꞌeno. Bila mu mbuetolo yi meso nganzi andi yilenda vika wulama. Lusakumunu kuidi batu boso bobo bantombanga suamunu mu niandi.
