< Sòm 2 >

1 Poukisa nasyon yo ap toumante kò yo konsa? Poukisa pèp yo ap fè plan ki p'ap sèvi yo anyen?
Why do the heathen rage, And the nations meditate a vain thing?
2 Wa latè yo pran lèzam. Chèf yo mete tèt yo ansanm, y'ap fè konplo sou do Seyè a, y'ap fè konplo sou do wa li chwazi a.
Why do the kings of the earth rise up, And the princes combine together, Against Jehovah, and against his anointed king?
3 Y'ap plede di: -Ann kase chenn yo mete nan pye nou yo! Ann voye yo jete!
“Let us break their bonds asunder; Let us cast away from us their fetters!”
4 Seyè a rete chita nan syèl la, l'ap ri. L'ap pase yo nan jwèt.
He that sitteth in heaven will laugh; The Lord will have them in derision.
5 Apre sa, li fè kòlè, li pale ak yo. Li move sou yo, li fè kè yo kase.
Then shall he speak to them in his wrath, And confound them in his hot displeasure.
6 Li di: -Se mwen menm ki mete wa mwen an sou mòn Siyon, mòn ki apa pou mwen an.
“I myself have anointed my king, Upon Zion, my holy hill!”
7 Wa a di: -M'ap fè nou konnen sa Seyè a deside. Li di mwen: Ou se pitit mwen. Depi jòdi a, se mwen ki papa ou.
I will declare the decree of Jehovah: He hath said to me, “Thou art my son; This day I have begotten thee.
8 Mande m', m'a ba ou tout nasyon yo pou eritaj ou. M'a ba ou tout latè pou bitasyon ou.
Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, And the ends of the earth for thy possession.
9 W'ap kraze ren yo avèk yon baton fè, w'ap kraze yo an miyèt moso tankou yon kannari yo kraze.
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.”
10 Koulye a, nou menm wa yo, manyè konprann. Nou menm k'ap dirije moun sou latè, manyè koute.
Be wise, therefore, O ye kings! Be admonished, ye rulers of the earth!
11 Sèvi Seyè a avèk krentif, tranble nan tout kò nou,
Be subject to Jehovah with awe, And fear with trembling!
12 bese tèt devan li. Si se pa sa, n'a fè l' fache, n'a mouri, paske kòlè l' moute fasil. Ala bon sa bon pou moun k'ap chache pwoteksyon anba zèl li!
Kiss the son, lest He be angry, and ye perish in your way; For soon shall his wrath be kindled. Happy are all they who seek refuge in him.
