Zabbuli 2
1 Lwaki amawanga geegugunga n’abantu ne bateganira obwereere okusala enkwe?
Therefore did the heathen rage, and the nations imagine vain things?
2 Bakabaka ab’ensi bakuŋŋaanye, n’abafuzi ne bateeseza wamu ku Mukama ne ku Kristo we, nga bagamba nti,
The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers gathered themselves together, against the Lord, and against his Christ;
3 “Ka tukutule enjegere zaabwe, era tweyambulemu ekikoligo kyabwe.”
[saying], Let us break through their bonds, and cast away their yoke from us.
4 Naye Katonda oyo atuula mu ggulu, abasekerera busekerezi, n’enkwe zaabwe ezitaliimu zimusesa.
He that dwells in the heavens shall laugh them to scorn, and the Lord shall mock them.
5 N’alyoka abanenya ng’ajjudde obusungu, n’abatiisa nnyo ng’aswakidde.
Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his fury.
6 N’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala nateekawo kabaka owange ku lusozi lwange Sayuuni olutukuvu.”
But I have been made king by him on Sion his holy mountain,
7 Nzija kulangirira ekiragiro kya Mukama: kubanga yaŋŋamba nti, “Ggwe oli Mwana wange, olwa leero nfuuse kitaawo.
declaring the ordinance of the Lord: the Lord said to me, You are my Son, today have I begotten you.
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 you the heathen [for] your inheritance, and the ends of the earth [for] your possession.
9 Olibafugisa omuggo ogw’ekyuma, era olibabetenta ng’entamu y’omubumbi.”
You shall rule them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces as a potter's vessel.
10 Kale nno mubeere n’amagezi mmwe bakabaka; muyige okulabulwa mmwe abafuzi b’ensi.
Now therefore understand, you kings: be instructed, all you that judge the earth.
11 Muweereze Mukama nga mumutya, era musanyuke n’okukankana.
Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice in him 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.
Accept correction, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you should perish from the righteous way: whenever his wrath shall be suddenly kindled, blessed are all they that trust in him.
