Psalmowo 2
1 Nu ka ta dukɔwo le nugbe ɖom, eye amewo le nu dzodzrowo ɖom?
Why are the nations in turmoil, and why do the peoples make plots that will fail?
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 together and the rulers conspire together against Yahweh and against his Messiah, saying,
3 Wole gbɔgblɔm be, “Mina míado le Yehowa kple eƒe amesiamina la te, eye míana ablɔɖe mía ɖokuiwo.”
“Let us tear off the shackles they put on us and throw off their chains.”
4 Ame si woɖo zi dzi le dziƒo la ko nu, eye Yehowa ɖe alɔme le wo ŋu.
He who sits in the heavens will sneer at them; the Lord mocks 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 will speak to them in his anger and terrify them in his rage, saying,
6 “Meɖo nye ŋutɔ nye fia ɖe Zion, nye to kɔkɔe la dzi.”
“I myself have anointed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7 Maɖe gbeƒã Yehowa ƒe sedede la; Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Wòe nye vinye ŋutsu, egbea mezu fofowò.
I will announce a decree of Yahweh. He said to me, “You are my son! This day 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 give you the nations for your inheritance and the farthermost regions of the earth for 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 rod; like a jar of a potter, you will smash them to pieces.”
10 Eya ta mi fiawo, midze nunya, eye mi anyigbadzidumegãwo, miɖo to nuxlɔ̃ame.
So now, you kings, be warned; be corrected, you rulers of the earth.
11 Mitsɔ ɖokuibɔbɔ kple bubu subɔ Yehowa le dzidzɔ gã me kple dzodzo nyanyanya.
Worship Yahweh in 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 or he will be angry with you, and you will die in the way when his anger burns for just a moment. How blessed are all those who seek refuge in him.
