Psalms 2
1 (Why do the [leaders of] nations rage [against God]?/It is foolish for the nations to be angry [with God]) [RHQ]. (Why do people plan to rebel [against God] even though it is in vain?/It is useless for people to plan to rebel [against God]) [RHQ]!
Angʼo momiyo ogendini chano timo marach kendo ji chano jiemo kayiem nono?
2 The kings of the nations prepare to revolt; the rulers plot together [to fight] against Yahweh and against his chosen king.
Ruodhi mag piny osebiro kanyakla kendo jotelo pimo wach kaachiel, mondo giked gi Jehova Nyasaye kendo giked gi ngʼate mowir.
3 They shout, “We should free ourselves from their control [MET]; we should not let them rule over us any longer!”
“Giwacho ni, wachoduru nyorochegi; kendo wawit ratekegi kucha.”
4 But Yahweh, the one who sits [on his throne] in heaven, laughs [at them]; he ridicules those rulers.
To Jal mobet e kom loch e polo to nyierogi anyiera, Ruoth goyonegi siboi.
5 Then, because he is angry with them, he rebukes them. He causes them to be terrified when [they realize] that he will furiously punish them.
Eka okwerogi kokecho kendo obwogogi kopongʼ gi mirima mager, kowacho niya,
6 [Yahweh says], “I have installed my king on Zion, my sacred hill [in Jerusalem].”
“Aseketo Ruoth ma adwaro e Sayun, goda maler.”
7 [And his king says], “I will proclaim what Yahweh has decreed. He said to me, ‘[It is as though] you are my son; today I have declared to everyone that [it is as though] [MET] I am your father.
Abiro hulo chenro mag Jehova Nyasaye ma ok lokre: Nowachona niya, “In wuoda; kawuono asedoko wuonu.
8 Ask me to give you the nations, so that they belong to you [to rule over them permanently], and I will give them to you. [Even] the most remote nations will be yours.
Omiyo kwaya gima idwaro mondo aket ogendini duto obed girkeni mari, mondo piny ngima obed mwanduni.
9 You will defeat them completely [MET]; you will [destroy them like people] smash a clay pot with an iron rod [SIM].’”
Initelnigi kod ludhi mar nyinyo; kendo initogi matindo tindo ka agulu.”
10 So then, you kings and other rulers on the earth, act wisely! [Heed what Yahweh is] warning you!
Kuom mano, un ruodhi, beduru mariek; tangʼuru un joloch mag piny.
11 Serve Yahweh, fervently revering him; Rejoice [about what he has done for you], but tremble before him!
Tiuru ne Jehova Nyasaye gi luoro kendo moruru e nyime gi luoro.
12 Bow down humbly before his son! If you do not do that, Yahweh will be angry, and he will suddenly get rid of you. Do not forget that he can very quickly show that he is very angry! But he is very pleased with all those who request him to protect them [MET].
Bolreuru e nyim Wuowi, nono to dipo kokecho kodu mi dongʼad ndalou, motieku, nimar iye nyalo wangʼ kodu kadiemo wangʼ. Ji duto mogeno kuome gin joma ogwedhi.
