Psalms 2
1 Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity?
Nu ka ta dukɔwo le nugbe ɖom, eye amewo le nu dzodzrowo ɖom?
2 Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah:
Anyigbadzifiawo ɖo afɔ anyi sesĩe, eye dumegãwo ƒo ta kpli ɖe aɖaŋu me ɖe Yehowa kple eƒe amesiamina la ŋu.
3 'Let us draw off Their cords, And cast from us Their thick bands.'
Wole gbɔgblɔm be, “Mina míado le Yehowa kple eƒe amesiamina la te, eye míana ablɔɖe mía ɖokuiwo.”
4 He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.
Ame si woɖo zi dzi le dziƒo la ko nu, eye Yehowa ɖe alɔme le wo ŋu.
5 Then doth He speak unto them in His anger, And in His wrath He doth trouble them:
Tete wòka mo na wo le eƒe dɔmedzoe me, eye wòdo ŋɔdzi na wo le eƒe dziku helĩhelĩ me hegblɔ be,
6 'And I — I have anointed My King, Upon Zion — My holy hill.'
“Meɖo nye ŋutɔ nye fia ɖe Zion, nye to kɔkɔe la dzi.”
7 I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, 'My Son Thou [art], I to-day have brought thee forth.
Maɖe gbeƒã Yehowa ƒe sedede la; Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Wòe nye vinye ŋutsu, egbea mezu fofowò.
8 Ask of Me and I give nations — thy inheritance, And thy possession — the ends of earth.
Biam, ne matsɔ dukɔwo awɔ wò domenyinui kple anyigba ƒe seƒewo ke awɔ tɔwòe.
9 Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.'
Àtsɔ gafiatikplɔ aɖu wo dzii, eye àxlã wo ɖi, woakaka abe ale si ze gbãnae ene.”
10 And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
Eya ta mi fiawo, midze nunya, eye mi anyigbadzidumegãwo, miɖo to nuxlɔ̃ame.
11 Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
Mitsɔ ɖokuibɔbɔ kple bubu subɔ Yehowa le dzidzɔ gã me kple dzodzo nyanyanya.
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!
Mitsɔ ɖokuibɔbɔ do ɖe fia la ŋkume, ne menye nenema o la, ado dziku, eye wòatsrɔ̃ mi kpata, elabena eƒe dɔmedzoe ate ŋu afla ɣe sia ɣi. Woayra ame siwo katã tsɔe wɔ sitsoƒee.
