Psalms 2
1 Wherefore have nations assembled in tumult? Or should, peoples, mutter an empty thing?
NO ke aha la e kupikipikio ai ko ka aina e? A e noonoo ai ka poe kanaka i ka mea lapuwale?
2 The kings of earth take their station, and, grave men, have met by appointment together, —against Yahweh, and against his Anointed One [saying]:
Ua ku e aku na'lii o ka honua, Ua ohumu pu aku no hoi na luna, Ia Iehova, a i kona Mea i poniia,
3 Let us break asunder their bonds, —and cast from us their cords!
E moku aku kakou i ka laua mau mea paa, A e hoolei aku hoi mai o kakou aku nei i ka laua mau kaula.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens, will laugh, —My Lord, will mock at them:
O ka Mea e noho ana ma ka lani, e aka mai no ia: A e hoomahua mai no hoi o ka Haku ia lakou.
5 Then, will he speak unto them in his anger, and, in his wrath, confound them:
Alaila e olelo mai oia ia lakou i kona inaina, A e hoomakaua mai hoi ia lakou i kona huhu nui.
6 Yet, I, have installed my king, —on Zion my holy mountain.
Ua poni ae nei au i ka'u Alii maluna o Ziona, Maluna iho o ko'u mauna hoano.
7 Let me tell of a decree, —Yahweh, hath said unto me, My son, thou art, I, to-day, have begotten thee:
E hai aku au i ke kauoha: Ua olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, O oe no ka'u Keiki; I keia la no, ua hoohanau aku wau ia oe.
8 Ask of me, and let me give nations as thine inheritance, and, as thy possession, the ends of the earth:
E noi mai oe ia'u, a e haawi aku au ia oe I na lahuikanaka i hooilina nou, A i waiwai hoi nou na welelau o ka honua.
9 Thou shalt shepherd them with a sceptre of iron, —as a potter’s vessel, shalt thou dash them in pieces.
E uhai oe ia lakou me ke kookoo hao: E ulupa hoi oe ia lakou me he ipulepo la.
10 Now, therefore, ye kings, show your prudence, Be admonished, ye judges of earth:
No ia hoi, e hoonaauao oukou, e na alii; E aoia'ku no hoi oukou, e na lunakanawai o ka honua.
11 Serve Yahweh with reverence, and exult with trembling:
E malama ia Iehova me ka weliweli, E hauoli hoi oukou me ka haalulu.
12 Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish by the way, for soon might be kindled his anger, —How happy are all who seek refuge in him!
E honi aku i ke Keiki, o huhu mai ia, O make hoi oukou ia aoao, ke hoa iki ia mai kona inaina. Pomaikai wale ka poe a pau i hilinai aku ia ia.
