Banzembo 2
1 Mpo na nini bikolo ezali kosala makelele mpe bato bazali kosala makita ya pamba?
Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things?
2 Bakonzi ya mokili batomboki, mpe bakambi basangani mpo na kotelemela Yawe elongo na mopakolami na Ye.
The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord and against his Christ.
3 Bazali koganga elongo: « Tokata minyololo na bango mpe tomikangola na bokonzi na bango! »
Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us.
4 Kasi Ye oyo avandi na Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi kuna na likolo aseki, Yawe atioli bango.
He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them.
5 Agangeli bango na kanda, apelisi kanda makasi na Ye mpo na bango, alobi:
Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage.
6 « Ezali Ngai nde natiaki mokonzi na Ngai na Siona, ngomba na Ngai ya bule. »
But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, preaching his commandment.
7 Nakosakola mobeko ya Yawe. Alobaki na ngai: « Ozali Mwana na Ngai ya mobali, na mokolo ya lelo, nakomi Tata na Yo.
The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
8 Senga Ngai, mpe nakokomisa bikolo libula na Yo, basuka ya mokili bozwi na Yo.
Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Okoyangela yango na bokonzi ya ebende, okopanza yango lokola mbeki ya mabele. »
Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10 Yango wana, bino bakonzi, bozala na mayele; bino bayangeli ya mokili, boyoka likebisi oyo.
And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
11 Bosalela Yawe na kobanga mpe bosepela na kolenga.
Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling.
12 Bopesa Mwana na Ye beze, noki te akosilika mpe bokokufa na nzela na bino, pamba te kanda na Ye epelaka noki. Esengo na bato oyo bazwaka Ye lokola ebombamelo na bango.
Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you perish from the just way. When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, blessed are all they that trust in him.
