Banzembo 2
1 Mpo na nini bikolo ezali kosala makelele mpe bato bazali kosala makita ya pamba?
Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?
2 Bakonzi ya mokili batomboki, mpe bakambi basangani mpo na kotelemela Yawe elongo na mopakolami na Ye.
The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against Adonai, and against his Anointed, saying,
3 Bazali koganga elongo: « Tokata minyololo na bango mpe tomikangola na bokonzi na bango! »
“Let’s break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us.”
4 Kasi Ye oyo avandi na Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi kuna na likolo aseki, Yawe atioli bango.
He who sits in the heavens will laugh. 'Adonay [Lord] will have them in derision.
5 Agangeli bango na kanda, apelisi kanda makasi na Ye mpo na bango, alobi:
Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath:
6 « Ezali Ngai nde natiaki mokonzi na Ngai na Siona, ngomba na Ngai ya bule. »
“Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking].”
7 Nakosakola mobeko ya Yawe. Alobaki na ngai: « Ozali Mwana na Ngai ya mobali, na mokolo ya lelo, nakomi Tata na Yo.
I will tell of the statute. Adonai said to me, “You are my son. Today I have become your father.
8 Senga Ngai, mpe nakokomisa bikolo libula na Yo, basuka ya mokili bozwi na Yo.
Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
9 Okoyangela yango na bokonzi ya ebende, okopanza yango lokola mbeki ya mabele. »
You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like pottery.”
10 Yango wana, bino bakonzi, bozala na mayele; bino bayangeli ya mokili, boyoka likebisi oyo.
Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Bosalela Yawe na kobanga mpe bosepela na kolenga.
Abad ·Serve· Adonai 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 Son, lest he be angry, and you perish on the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
