< Zabbuli 2 >
1 Lwaki amawanga geegugunga n’abantu ne bateganira obwereere okusala enkwe?
Why are the nations plotting rebellion? The peoples devise schemes, but they're pointless.
2 Bakabaka ab’ensi bakuŋŋaanye, n’abafuzi ne bateeseza wamu ku Mukama ne ku Kristo we, nga bagamba nti,
The kings of the world prepare to attack, and the rulers conspire together against the Lord and his anointed one, saying,
3 “Ka tukutule enjegere zaabwe, era tweyambulemu ekikoligo kyabwe.”
“Let's break the chains and throw away the cords that bind us.”
4 Naye Katonda oyo atuula mu ggulu, abasekerera busekerezi, n’enkwe zaabwe ezitaliimu zimusesa.
But the one who sits enthroned in heaven laughs. The Lord mocks them.
5 N’alyoka abanenya ng’ajjudde obusungu, n’abatiisa nnyo ng’aswakidde.
He will thunder at them, and terrify them in his fury, saying,
6 N’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala nateekawo kabaka owange ku lusozi lwange Sayuuni olutukuvu.”
“It is I who placed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7 Nzija kulangirira ekiragiro kya Mukama: kubanga yaŋŋamba nti, “Ggwe oli Mwana wange, olwa leero nfuuse kitaawo.
“I will proclaim the Lord's decree,” says the king. “He told me, ‘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 give you the nations as your possessions—the whole earth will belong to you.
9 Olibafugisa omuggo ogw’ekyuma, era olibabetenta ng’entamu y’omubumbi.”
You will break them with a rod of iron, smashing them like pottery.’”
10 Kale nno mubeere n’amagezi mmwe bakabaka; muyige okulabulwa mmwe abafuzi b’ensi.
So then you kings, be wise! Be warned, you rulers of the world!
11 Muweereze Mukama nga mumutya, era musanyuke n’okukankana.
Serve the Lord in reverence, celebrate 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.
Submit to his son so that he will not become angry and you die suddenly. His anger flares up quickly, but how happy are all those who go to him for protection.
