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]!
Ndudzi dzinoitireiko bope? Uye vanhu vanofungireiko zvisina maturo?
2 The kings of the nations prepare to revolt; the rulers plot together [to fight] against Yahweh and against his chosen king.
Madzimambo enyika azvigadzirira uye vabati vanoungana pamwe chete kuti vazorwa naJehovha, uye kuti vazorwisa Muzodziwa Wake.
3 They shout, “We should free ourselves from their control [MET]; we should not let them rule over us any longer!”
Vanoti, “Ngatidamburei ngetani dzavo, tigorasa mabote avo.”
4 But Yahweh, the one who sits [on his throne] in heaven, laughs [at them]; he ridicules those rulers.
Iye agere pachigaro choushe chokudenga anoseka; Ishe anovadadira.
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.
Ipapo anovatuka mukutsamwa kwake uye anovavhundutsa muhasha dzake, achiti,
6 [Yahweh says], “I have installed my king on Zion, my sacred hill [in Jerusalem].”
“Ndakagadza Mambo wangu paZioni, gomo rangu dzvene.”
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.
Ndichaparidza chirevo chaJehovha, ndichiti: Iye akati kwandiri, “Ndiwe Mwanakomana wangu; nhasi ndava Baba vako.
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.
Kumbira kwandiri, uye ndichaita kuti ndudzi dzive nhaka yako, migumo yenyika ive yako.
9 You will defeat them completely [MET]; you will [destroy them like people] smash a clay pot with an iron rod [SIM].’”
Uchavatonga netsvimbo yesimbi; uchavaputsa kuita zvimedu zvimedu sehari.”
10 So then, you kings and other rulers on the earth, act wisely! [Heed what Yahweh is] warning you!
Naizvozvo, imi madzimambo, ngwarai; munyeverwe, imi vabati venyika.
11 Serve Yahweh, fervently revering him; Rejoice [about what he has done for you], but tremble before him!
Shumirai Jehovha nokutya, uye mufare nokudedera.
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].
Tsvodai Mwanakomana, kuti arege kutsamwa mukazoparadzwa munzira yenyu, nokuti hasha dzake dzingakurumidza kumuka. Vakaropafadzwa vose vanovanda maari.
