Psalms 2

1 Why? do they plot nations and peoples do they devise? vanity.

Kungani izizwe zixokozela, labantu besakha amacebo ngeze?

2 They take their stand - [the] kings of [the] earth and rulers they seat themselves together on Yahweh and on anointed his.

Amakhosi omhlaba ayahloma ajame lababusi bahlangana ndawonye bemelana loThixo njalo lalowo ogcotshiweyo wakhe besithi;

3 Let us tear off fetters their and let us throw away from us ropes their.

“Kasiwaqamuleni amaketane abo, silahle izibopho zabo.”

4 [the one who] sits In the heavens he laughs [the] Lord he mocks them.

Yena osesihlalweni ezulwini uyahleka; uThixo uyabahleka.

5 Then he speaks to them in anger his and in fury his he terrifies them.

Abesebakhalimela ngolaka, abathuthumelise ngentukuthelo yakhe, esithi,

6 And I I have installed king my on Zion [the] mountain of holiness my.

“Sengiyibekile eyami inkosi phezu kweZiyoni, intaba yami engcwele.”

7 I will recount concerning [the] decree of Yahweh he said to me [are] son my you I this day I have begotten you.

Ngizasimemezela isimiso sikaThixo: Wathi kimi, “UyiNdodana yami; lamhla sengibe nguyihlo.

8 Ask from me so let me make nations inheritance your and possession your [the] ends of [the] earth.

Cela kimi, ngizakwenza izizwe zibe yilifa lakho, imikhawulo yomhlaba kube yinotho yakho.

9 You will break them with a rod of iron like a vessel of a potter you will smash them.

Uzazibusa ngentonga yobukhosi eyensimbi, uzazibhidliza zicubuzeke njengebumba.”

10 And therefore O kings act prudently let yourselves be instructed O rulers of [the] earth.

Ngakho-ke lina makhosi, limukani, liyaxwayiswa lina babusi bomhlaba.

11 Serve Yahweh with fear and rejoice with trembling.

Mkhonzeni uThixo ngokumesaba, lithokozele umbuso wakhe ngokuthuthumela.

12 Kiss [the] son lest he should be angry - and you may perish way if it burns like a little anger his how blessed! [are] all [those who] seek refuge in him.

Ikhothameleni iNdodana, funa ithukuthele beselibhujiswa endleleni yenu, ngoba intukuthelo yakhe ingavutha ngesikhatshana. Babusisiwe bonke abaphephela kuye.
