< Sòm 2 >

1 Poukisa nasyon yo ap toumante kò yo konsa? Poukisa pèp yo ap fè plan ki p'ap sèvi yo anyen?
Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity?
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.
Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah:
3 Y'ap plede di: -Ann kase chenn yo mete nan pye nou yo! Ann voye yo jete!
'Let us draw off Their cords, And cast from us Their thick bands.'
4 Seyè a rete chita nan syèl la, l'ap ri. L'ap pase yo nan jwèt.
He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.
5 Apre sa, li fè kòlè, li pale ak yo. Li move sou yo, li fè kè yo kase.
Then doth He speak unto them in His anger, And in His wrath He doth trouble them:
6 Li di: -Se mwen menm ki mete wa mwen an sou mòn Siyon, mòn ki apa pou mwen an.
'And I — I 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 declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, 'My Son Thou [art], I to-day have brought thee forth.
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 give nations — thy inheritance, And thy possession — the ends of earth.
9 W'ap kraze ren yo avèk yon baton fè, w'ap kraze yo an miyèt moso tankou yon kannari yo kraze.
Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.'
10 Koulye a, nou menm wa yo, manyè konprann. Nou menm k'ap dirije moun sou latè, manyè koute.
And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
11 Sèvi Seyè a avèk krentif, tranble nan tout kò nou,
Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice 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 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!
