Banzembo 2
1 Mpo na nini bikolo ezali kosala makelele mpe bato bazali kosala makita ya pamba?
Why have nations assembled tumultuously? And peoples meditate vanity?
2 Bakonzi ya mokili batomboki, mpe bakambi basangani mpo na kotelemela Yawe elongo na mopakolami na Ye.
Kings of the earth station themselves, and princes have been united together, against YHWH, and against His Messiah:
3 Bazali koganga elongo: « Tokata minyololo na bango mpe tomikangola na bokonzi na bango! »
“Let us draw off Their cords, And cast Their thick bands from us.”
4 Kasi Ye oyo avandi na Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi kuna na likolo aseki, Yawe atioli bango.
He who is sitting in the heavens laughs, The Lord mocks at them.
5 Agangeli bango na kanda, apelisi kanda makasi na Ye mpo na bango, alobi:
Then He speaks to them in His anger, and in His wrath He troubles them:
6 « Ezali Ngai nde natiaki mokonzi na Ngai na Siona, ngomba na Ngai ya bule. »
“And I have anointed My King, On Zion—My holy hill.”
7 Nakosakola mobeko ya Yawe. Alobaki na ngai: « Ozali Mwana na Ngai ya mobali, na mokolo ya lelo, nakomi Tata na Yo.
I declare concerning a statute: YHWH said to me, “You [are] My Son, today I have brought You forth.
8 Senga Ngai, mpe nakokomisa bikolo libula na Yo, basuka ya mokili bozwi na Yo.
Ask of Me and I give nations [as] Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth [for] Your possession.
9 Okoyangela yango na bokonzi ya ebende, okopanza yango lokola mbeki ya mabele. »
You rule them with a scepter of iron, You crush them as a vessel of a potter.”
10 Yango wana, bino bakonzi, bozala na mayele; bino bayangeli ya mokili, boyoka likebisi oyo.
And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
11 Bosalela Yawe na kobanga mpe bosepela na kolenga.
Serve YHWH with fear, And rejoice 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.
Kiss the Chosen One [[or Son]], lest He is angry, And you perish [from] the way, When His anger burns but a little, O the blessedness of all trusting in Him!
