< Zabbuli 2 >

1 Lwaki amawanga geegugunga n’abantu ne bateganira obwereere okusala enkwe?
Why are the nations in turmoil, and why do the peoples make plots that will fail?
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 together and the rulers conspire together against Yahweh and against his Messiah, saying,
3 “Ka tukutule enjegere zaabwe, era tweyambulemu ekikoligo kyabwe.”
“Let us tear off the shackles they put on us and throw off their chains.”
4 Naye Katonda oyo atuula mu ggulu, abasekerera busekerezi, n’enkwe zaabwe ezitaliimu zimusesa.
He who sits in the heavens will sneer at them; the Lord mocks them.
5 N’alyoka abanenya ng’ajjudde obusungu, n’abatiisa nnyo ng’aswakidde.
Then he will speak to them in his anger and terrify them in his rage, saying,
6 N’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala nateekawo kabaka owange ku lusozi lwange Sayuuni olutukuvu.”
“I myself have anointed 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 announce a decree of Yahweh. He said to me, “You are my son! This day 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 for your inheritance and the farthermost regions of the earth for your possession.
9 Olibafugisa omuggo ogw’ekyuma, era olibabetenta ng’entamu y’omubumbi.”
You will break them with an iron rod; like a jar of a potter, you will smash them to pieces.”
10 Kale nno mubeere n’amagezi mmwe bakabaka; muyige okulabulwa mmwe abafuzi b’ensi.
So now, you kings, be warned; be corrected, you rulers of the earth.
11 Muweereze Mukama nga mumutya, era musanyuke n’okukankana.
Worship Yahweh in 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 or he will be angry with you, and you will die in the way when his anger burns for just a moment. How blessed are all those who seek refuge in him.
