Psalms 2
1 Wherefore have nations assembled in tumult? Or should, peoples, mutter an empty thing?
Namoonni maaliif akkanumaan malatu? Saboonnis maaliif waan akkanumaan mariʼatu?
2 The kings of earth take their station, and, grave men, have met by appointment together, —against Yahweh, and against his Anointed One [saying]:
Mootonni lafaa kaʼanii, bulchitoonnis Waaqayyoo fi Masiihii isaatiin mormuuf walitti qabaman;
3 Let us break asunder their bonds, —and cast from us their cords!
isaanis, “Kottaa foncaa isaanii of irraa kukkunnaa; hidhaa isaaniis of irraa hiiknee gannaa” jedhu.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens, will laugh, —My Lord, will mock at them:
Inni samii keessa, teessoo irra taaʼee jiru ni kolfa; Gooftaanis isaanitti qoosa.
5 Then, will he speak unto them in his anger, and, in his wrath, confound them:
Innis aarii isaatiin isaan ifata; dheekkamsa isaatiinis isaan naasisa;
6 Yet, I, have installed my king, —on Zion my holy mountain.
innis, “Ani tulluu koo qulqulluu irra, Xiyoon irra, mootii koo teessifadheera” jedha.
7 Let me tell of a decree, —Yahweh, hath said unto me, My son, thou art, I, to-day, have begotten thee:
Ani seera Waaqayyoo nan labsa: innis akkana anaan jedhe; “Ati ilma koo ti; ani harʼa si dhalcheera.
8 Ask of me, and let me give nations as thine inheritance, and, as thy possession, the ends of the earth:
Na kadhadhu; ani saboota dhaala kee, handaara lafaas qabeenya kee godhee siifan kenna.
9 Thou shalt shepherd them with a sceptre of iron, —as a potter’s vessel, shalt thou dash them in pieces.
Ati ulee sibiilaatiin isaan cabsita; akka qodaa supheettis isaan hurreessita.”
10 Now, therefore, ye kings, show your prudence, Be admonished, ye judges of earth:
Kanaafuu yaa mootota, qalbeeffadhaa; bulchitoonni lafaas of eeggadhaa.
11 Serve Yahweh with reverence, and exult with trembling:
Sodaadhaan Waaqayyoon tajaajilaa; hollachaas gammadaa.
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!
Akka inni hin aarreef, isinis akka karaa irratti hin badneef ilma isaa dhungadhaa; dheekkamsi isaa dafee bobaʼaatii. Warri isatti kooluu galan hundi eebbifamoo dha.
