Zabbuli 2
1 Lwaki amawanga geegugunga n’abantu ne bateganira obwereere okusala enkwe?
Why are the nations in tumultuous agitation, and [why] do the peoples meditate a vain thing?
2 Bakabaka ab’ensi bakuŋŋaanye, n’abafuzi ne bateeseza wamu ku Mukama ne ku Kristo we, nga bagamba nti,
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the princes plot together, against Jehovah and against his anointed:
3 “Ka tukutule enjegere zaabwe, era tweyambulemu ekikoligo kyabwe.”
Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us!
4 Naye Katonda oyo atuula mu ggulu, abasekerera busekerezi, n’enkwe zaabwe ezitaliimu zimusesa.
He that dwelleth in the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 N’alyoka abanenya ng’ajjudde obusungu, n’abatiisa nnyo ng’aswakidde.
Then will he speak to them in his anger, and in his fierce displeasure will he terrify them:
6 N’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala nateekawo kabaka owange ku lusozi lwange Sayuuni olutukuvu.”
And I have anointed my king upon Zion, the hill of my holiness.
7 Nzija kulangirira ekiragiro kya Mukama: kubanga yaŋŋamba nti, “Ggwe oli Mwana wange, olwa leero nfuuse kitaawo.
I will declare the decree: Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; I this day have begotten thee.
8 Nsaba, nange ndikuwa amawanga gonna okuba obusika bwo, era n’ensi yonna gy’ekoma okuba amatwale go.
Ask of me, and I will give thee nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the ends of the earth:
9 Olibafugisa omuggo ogw’ekyuma, era olibabetenta ng’entamu y’omubumbi.”
Thou shalt break them with a sceptre of iron, as a potter's vessel thou shalt dash them in pieces.
10 Kale nno mubeere n’amagezi mmwe bakabaka; muyige okulabulwa mmwe abafuzi b’ensi.
And now, O kings, be ye wise, be admonished, ye judges of the earth.
11 Muweereze Mukama nga mumutya, era musanyuke n’okukankana.
Serve Jehovah 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 ye perish in the way, though his anger burn but a little. Blessed are all who have their trust in him.
