Psalms 2
1 Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity?
Mpo na nini bikolo ezali kosala makelele mpe bato bazali kosala makita ya pamba?
2 Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah:
Bakonzi ya mokili batomboki, mpe bakambi basangani mpo na kotelemela Yawe elongo na mopakolami na Ye.
3 'Let us draw off Their cords, And cast from us Their thick bands.'
Bazali koganga elongo: « Tokata minyololo na bango mpe tomikangola na bokonzi na bango! »
4 He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.
Kasi Ye oyo avandi na Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi kuna na likolo aseki, Yawe atioli bango.
5 Then doth He speak unto them in His anger, And in His wrath He doth trouble them:
Agangeli bango na kanda, apelisi kanda makasi na Ye mpo na bango, alobi:
6 'And I — I have anointed My King, Upon Zion — My holy hill.'
« Ezali Ngai nde natiaki mokonzi na Ngai na Siona, ngomba na Ngai ya bule. »
7 I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, 'My Son Thou [art], I to-day have brought thee forth.
Nakosakola mobeko ya Yawe. Alobaki na ngai: « Ozali Mwana na Ngai ya mobali, na mokolo ya lelo, nakomi Tata na Yo.
8 Ask of Me and I give nations — thy inheritance, And thy possession — the ends of earth.
Senga Ngai, mpe nakokomisa bikolo libula na Yo, basuka ya mokili bozwi na Yo.
9 Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.'
Okoyangela yango na bokonzi ya ebende, okopanza yango lokola mbeki ya mabele. »
10 And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
Yango wana, bino bakonzi, bozala na mayele; bino bayangeli ya mokili, boyoka likebisi oyo.
11 Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
Bosalela Yawe na kobanga mpe bosepela na kolenga.
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!
Bopesa Mwana na Ye beze, noki te akosilika mpe bokokufa na nzela na bino, pamba te kanda na Ye epelaka noki. Esengo na bato oyo bazwaka Ye lokola ebombamelo na bango.
