< Zabbuli 2 >

1 Lwaki amawanga geegugunga n’abantu ne bateganira obwereere okusala enkwe?
Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?
2 Bakabaka ab’ensi bakuŋŋaanye, n’abafuzi ne bateeseza wamu ku Mukama ne ku Kristo we, nga bagamba nti,
The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One:
3 “Ka tukutule enjegere zaabwe, era tweyambulemu ekikoligo kyabwe.”
“Let us break Their chains and cast away Their cords.”
4 Naye Katonda oyo atuula mu ggulu, abasekerera busekerezi, n’enkwe zaabwe ezitaliimu zimusesa.
The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them.
5 N’alyoka abanenya ng’ajjudde obusungu, n’abatiisa nnyo ng’aswakidde.
Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury:
6 N’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala nateekawo kabaka owange ku lusozi lwange Sayuuni olutukuvu.”
“I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.”
7 Nzija kulangirira ekiragiro kya Mukama: kubanga yaŋŋamba nti, “Ggwe oli Mwana wange, olwa leero nfuuse kitaawo.
I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.
8 Nsaba, nange ndikuwa amawanga gonna okuba obusika bwo, era n’ensi yonna gy’ekoma okuba amatwale go.
Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession.
9 Olibafugisa omuggo ogw’ekyuma, era olibabetenta ng’entamu y’omubumbi.”
You will break them with an iron scepter; You will shatter them like pottery.”
10 Kale nno mubeere n’amagezi mmwe bakabaka; muyige okulabulwa mmwe abafuzi b’ensi.
Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O judges of the earth.
11 Muweereze Mukama nga mumutya, era musanyuke n’okukankana.
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Mwanirize Omwana, mumusembeze Mukama aleme okubasunguwalira n’okubazikiriza nga muli mu kkubo lyammwe; kubanga obusungu bwe bubuubuuka mangu. Kyokka bonna abaddukira gy’ali balina omukisa.
Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you perish in your rebellion, when His wrath ignites in an instant. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.
