Sòm 2
1 Poukisa nasyon yo ap boulvèse konsa, e pèp yo fòmante yon vye bagay?
(Why do the [leaders of] nations rage [against God]?/It is foolish for the nations to be angry [with God]) [RHQ]. (Why do people plan to rebel [against God] even though it is in vain?/It is useless for people to plan to rebel [against God]) [RHQ]!
2 Wa latè yo pran pòz yo e chèf yo pran konsèy ansanm kont SENYÈ a, e kont onksyone pa Li a:
The kings of the nations prepare to revolt; the rulers plot together [to fight] against Yahweh and against his chosen king.
3 “Annou chire chenn sa yo, e jete kòd ki mare nou yo!”
They shout, “We should free ourselves from their control [MET]; we should not let them rule over us any longer!”
4 (Sila) ki chita nan syèl la ri; SENYÈ a ap moke yo.
But Yahweh, the one who sits [on his throne] in heaven, laughs [at them]; he ridicules those rulers.
5 Anplis, Li va pale avèk yo nan kòlè Li. Li va fè yo sezi nan kòlè Li.
Then, because he is angry with them, he rebukes them. He causes them to be terrified when [they realize] that he will furiously punish them.
6 Men pou Mwen menm, Mwen fin plase Wa Mwen an sou Sion, mòn sen Mwen an.
[Yahweh says], “I have installed my king on Zion, my sacred hill [in Jerusalem].”
7 Anverite, Mwen va pale selon deklarasyon SENYÈ a; SENYÈ a te di Mwen: “Ou se Fis Mwen. Se jodi a, Mwen te fè Ou.
[And his king says], “I will proclaim what Yahweh has decreed. He said to me, ‘[It is as though] you are my son; today I have declared to everyone that [it is as though] [MET] I am your father.
8 Mande Mwen, e Mwen va bay Ou nasyon yo kon eritaj, jis rive nan dènye pwent latè kon posesyon pa Ou.
Ask me to give you the nations, so that they belong to you [to rule over them permanently], and I will give them to you. [Even] the most remote nations will be yours.
9 Ou va kase yo avèk yon baton fè, Ou va kraze yo tankou veso kanari.”
You will defeat them completely [MET]; you will [destroy them like people] smash a clay pot with an iron rod [SIM].’”
10 Konsa, O wa yo, sèvi ak sajès. Fè atansyon, O jij sou latè yo.
So then, you kings and other rulers on the earth, act wisely! [Heed what Yahweh is] warning you!
11 Adore SENYÈ a avèk gran respè e rejwi avèk tranbleman.
Serve Yahweh, fervently revering him; Rejoice [about what he has done for you], but tremble before him!
12 Fè omaj a Fis la, pou L pa vin fache, epi ou ta mouri nan chemen an. Paske gwo chalè Li kab limen ase vit. A la beni se tout (sila) ki kache nan Li.
Bow down humbly before his son! If you do not do that, Yahweh will be angry, and he will suddenly get rid of you. Do not forget that he can very quickly show that he is very angry! But he is very pleased with all those who request him to protect them [MET].
