< Psalmowo 2 >

1 Nu ka ta dukɔwo le nugbe ɖom, eye amewo le nu dzodzrowo ɖom?
Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?
2 Anyigbadzifiawo ɖo afɔ anyi sesĩe, eye dumegãwo ƒo ta kpli ɖe aɖaŋu me ɖe Yehowa kple eƒe amesiamina la ŋu.
The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One:
3 Wole gbɔgblɔm be, “Mina míado le Yehowa kple eƒe amesiamina la te, eye míana ablɔɖe mía ɖokuiwo.”
“Let us break Their chains and cast away Their cords.”
4 Ame si woɖo zi dzi le dziƒo la ko nu, eye Yehowa ɖe alɔme le wo ŋu.
The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them.
5 Tete wòka mo na wo le eƒe dɔmedzoe me, eye wòdo ŋɔdzi na wo le eƒe dziku helĩhelĩ me hegblɔ be,
Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury:
6 “Meɖo nye ŋutɔ nye fia ɖe Zion, nye to kɔkɔe la dzi.”
“I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.”
7 Maɖe gbeƒã Yehowa ƒe sedede la; Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Wòe nye vinye ŋutsu, egbea mezu fofowò.
I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.
8 Biam, ne matsɔ dukɔwo awɔ wò domenyinui kple anyigba ƒe seƒewo ke awɔ tɔwòe.
Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession.
9 Àtsɔ gafiatikplɔ aɖu wo dzii, eye àxlã wo ɖi, woakaka abe ale si ze gbãnae ene.”
You will break them with an iron scepter; You will shatter them like pottery.”
10 Eya ta mi fiawo, midze nunya, eye mi anyigbadzidumegãwo, miɖo to nuxlɔ̃ame.
Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O judges of the earth.
11 Mitsɔ ɖokuibɔbɔ kple bubu subɔ Yehowa le dzidzɔ gã me kple dzodzo nyanyanya.
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 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.
Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you perish in your rebellion, when His wrath ignites in an instant. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.
