1 Mpo na nini bikolo ezali kosala makelele mpe bato bazali kosala makita ya pamba?
Why doe the heathen rage, and the people murmure in vaine?
2 Bakonzi ya mokili batomboki, mpe bakambi basangani mpo na kotelemela Yawe elongo na mopakolami na Ye.
The Kings of the earth band themselues, and the princes are assembled together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
3 Bazali koganga elongo: « Tokata minyololo na bango mpe tomikangola na bokonzi na bango! »
Let vs breake their bands, and cast their cordes from vs.
4 Kasi Ye oyo avandi na Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi kuna na likolo aseki, Yawe atioli bango.
But he that dwelleth in the heauen, shall laugh: the Lord shall haue them in derision.
5 Agangeli bango na kanda, apelisi kanda makasi na Ye mpo na bango, alobi:
Then shall hee speake vnto them in his wrath, and vexe them in his sore displeasure, saying,
6 « Ezali Ngai nde natiaki mokonzi na Ngai na Siona, ngomba na Ngai ya bule. »
Euen I haue set my King vpon Zion mine holy mountaine.
7 Nakosakola mobeko ya Yawe. Alobaki na ngai: « Ozali Mwana na Ngai ya mobali, na mokolo ya lelo, nakomi Tata na Yo.
I will declare the decree: that is, the Lord hath said vnto me, Thou art my Sonne: this day haue I begotten thee.
8 Senga Ngai, mpe nakokomisa bikolo libula na Yo, basuka ya mokili bozwi na Yo.
Aske of me, and I shall giue thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the endes of the earth for thy possession.
9 Okoyangela yango na bokonzi ya ebende, okopanza yango lokola mbeki ya mabele. »
Thou shalt krush them with a scepter of yron, and breake them in pieces like a potters vessell.
10 Yango wana, bino bakonzi, bozala na mayele; bino bayangeli ya mokili, boyoka likebisi oyo.
Be wise nowe therefore, ye Kings: be learned ye Iudges of the earth.
11 Bosalela Yawe na kobanga mpe bosepela na kolenga.
Serue the Lord in feare, and reioyce in 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.
Kisse the sonne, least he be angry, and ye perish in the way, when his wrath shall suddenly burne. blessed are all that trust in him.
