< Psalmowo 2 >
1 Nu ka ta dukɔwo le nugbe ɖom, eye amewo le nu dzodzrowo ɖom?
Why have nations assembled tumultuously? And peoples meditate vanity?
2 Anyigbadzifiawo ɖo afɔ anyi sesĩe, eye dumegãwo ƒo ta kpli ɖe aɖaŋu me ɖe Yehowa kple eƒe amesiamina la ŋu.
Kings of the earth station themselves, and princes have been united together, against YHWH, and against His Messiah:
3 Wole gbɔgblɔm be, “Mina míado le Yehowa kple eƒe amesiamina la te, eye míana ablɔɖe mía ɖokuiwo.”
“Let us draw off Their cords, And cast Their thick bands from us.”
4 Ame si woɖo zi dzi le dziƒo la ko nu, eye Yehowa ɖe alɔme le wo ŋu.
He who is sitting in the heavens laughs, The Lord mocks at 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 speaks to them in His anger, and in His wrath He troubles them:
6 “Meɖo nye ŋutɔ nye fia ɖe Zion, nye to kɔkɔe la dzi.”
“And I have anointed My King, On Zion—My holy hill.”
7 Maɖe gbeƒã Yehowa ƒe sedede la; Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Wòe nye vinye ŋutsu, egbea mezu fofowò.
I declare concerning a statute: YHWH said to me, “You [are] My Son, today I have brought You forth.
8 Biam, ne matsɔ dukɔwo awɔ wò domenyinui kple anyigba ƒe seƒewo ke awɔ tɔwòe.
Ask of Me and I give nations [as] Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth [for] Your possession.
9 Àtsɔ gafiatikplɔ aɖu wo dzii, eye àxlã wo ɖi, woakaka abe ale si ze gbãnae ene.”
You rule them with a scepter of iron, You crush them as a vessel of a potter.”
10 Eya ta mi fiawo, midze nunya, eye mi anyigbadzidumegãwo, miɖo to nuxlɔ̃ame.
And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
11 Mitsɔ ɖokuibɔbɔ kple bubu subɔ Yehowa le dzidzɔ gã me kple dzodzo nyanyanya.
Serve YHWH 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 Chosen One [[or Son]], lest He is angry, And you perish [from] the way, When His anger burns but a little, O the blessedness of all trusting in Him!
