< Psalms 2 >

1 Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity?
Kathutkung: Devit Miphunnaw teh bangkongmaw ruengruengti awh. Tamimaya teh bangkongmaw ayawmyin hno a sak awh.
2 Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah:
BAWIPA hoi Messiah taran lahoi, talai bawinaw cungtalah a kamkhueng awh teh, lawkcengkungnaw cungtalah kho a khang awh.
3 'Let us draw off Their cords, And cast from us Their thick bands.'
Tho awh. A kâkateknae naw hah ratham pouh sei. Kâkateknae rui hah tâkhawng pouh sei.
4 He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.
Kalvan ka tahung e ni panuikhai vaiteh, Bawipa ni panuilai lah a sak han.
5 Then doth He speak unto them in His anger, And in His wrath He doth trouble them:
Hahoi, lungkhuek laihoi ahnimouh koe lawk dei vaiteh, puenghoi a lungrei a thaisak han.
6 'And I — I have anointed My King, Upon Zion — My holy hill.'
Hateiteh, kaie mon kathoung Zion vah, ka siangpahrang ka ta toe.
7 I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, 'My Son Thou [art], I to-day have brought thee forth.
BAWIPA ni nang teh ka Capa doeh. Sahnin vah na khe telah kai koe a dei e hah ka pâpho han.
8 Ask of Me and I give nations — thy inheritance, And thy possession — the ends of earth.
Kai koe het haw. Râw lah miphunnaw na poe vaiteh, talai pout ditouh na coe hanelah na poe han.
9 Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.'
Sumtaboung hoi na uk vaiteh, talai hlaamkabokung ni a hem e patetlah rek na hem han.
10 And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
Hatdawkvah, Oe siangpahrangnaw, na lungang awh leih. Talai lawkcengkungnaw yuenae kâhmo awh haw.
11 Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
Taki laihoi BAWIPA thaw tawk awh haw. Pâyaw laihoi konawm awh.
12 Kiss the Chosen One, lest He be angry, And ye lose the way, When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness of all trusting in Him!
Capa teh pahnuem awh. Hoehpawiteh, a lungkhuek payon vaih. Dongdeng a lungphuen toteh, lam vah koung na kahmat payon vaih. Ama kâuep e pueng teh tami yawkahawi e doeh.
