Psalms 2
1 Why are the nations in turmoil, and why do the peoples make plots that will fail?
Kwa nini mataifa wanashauriana kufanya mabaya, na kabila za watu kula njama bure?
2 The kings of the earth take their stand together and the rulers conspire together against Yahweh and against his Messiah, saying,
Wafalme wa dunia wanajipanga na watawala wanajikusanya pamoja dhidi ya Bwana na dhidi ya Mpakwa Mafuta wake.
3 “Let us tear off the shackles they put on us and throw off their chains.”
Wanasema, “Tuvunje minyororo yao na kuvitupilia mbali vifungo vyao.”
4 He who sits in the heavens will sneer at them; the Lord mocks them.
Yeye atawalaye mbinguni hucheka, Bwana huwadharau.
5 Then he will speak to them in his anger and terrify them in his rage, saying,
Kisha huwakemea katika hasira yake na kuwaogopesha katika ghadhabu yake, akisema,
6 “I myself have anointed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
“Nimemtawaza Mfalme wangu juu ya Sayuni, mlima wangu mtakatifu.”
7 I will announce a decree of Yahweh. He said to me, “You are my son! This day I have become your father.
Nitatangaza amri ya Bwana: Yeye aliniambia, “Wewe ni Mwanangu, leo mimi nimekuzaa.
8 Ask me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance and the farthermost regions of the earth for your possession.
Niombe, nami nitayafanya mataifa kuwa urithi wako, miisho ya dunia kuwa milki yako.
9 You will break them with an iron rod; like a jar of a potter, you will smash them to pieces.”
Utawatawala kwa fimbo ya chuma na kuwavunjavunja kama chombo cha mfinyanzi.”
10 So now, you kings, be warned; be corrected, you rulers of the earth.
Kwa hiyo, ninyi wafalme, kuweni na hekima; mwonyeke, enyi watawala wa dunia.
11 Worship Yahweh in fear and rejoice with trembling.
Mtumikieni Bwana kwa hofu na mshangilie kwa kutetemeka.
12 Kiss the son or he will be angry with you, and you will die in the way when his anger burns for just a moment. How blessed are all those who seek refuge in him.
Mbusu Mwana, asije akakasirika nawe ukaangamizwa katika njia yako, kwa maana hasira yake inaweza kuwaka ghafula. Heri wote wanaomkimbilia.
