< Amahubo 2 >

1 Kungani izizwe zixokozela, labantu besakha amacebo ngeze?
Why doe the heathen rage, and the people murmure in vaine?
2 Amakhosi omhlaba ayahloma ajame lababusi bahlangana ndawonye bemelana loThixo njalo lalowo ogcotshiweyo wakhe besithi;
The Kings of the earth band themselues, and the princes are assembled together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
3 “Kasiwaqamuleni amaketane abo, silahle izibopho zabo.”
Let vs breake their bands, and cast their cordes from vs.
4 Yena osesihlalweni ezulwini uyahleka; uThixo uyabahleka.
But he that dwelleth in the heauen, shall laugh: the Lord shall haue them in derision.
5 Abesebakhalimela ngolaka, abathuthumelise ngentukuthelo yakhe, esithi,
Then shall hee speake vnto them in his wrath, and vexe them in his sore displeasure, saying,
6 “Sengiyibekile eyami inkosi phezu kweZiyoni, intaba yami engcwele.”
Euen I haue set my King vpon Zion mine holy mountaine.
7 Ngizasimemezela isimiso sikaThixo: Wathi kimi, “UyiNdodana yami; lamhla sengibe nguyihlo.
I will declare the decree: that is, the Lord hath said vnto me, Thou art my Sonne: this day haue I begotten thee.
8 Cela kimi, ngizakwenza izizwe zibe yilifa lakho, imikhawulo yomhlaba kube yinotho yakho.
Aske of me, and I shall giue thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the endes of the earth for thy possession.
9 Uzazibusa ngentonga yobukhosi eyensimbi, uzazibhidliza zicubuzeke njengebumba.”
Thou shalt krush them with a scepter of yron, and breake them in pieces like a potters vessell.
10 Ngakho-ke lina makhosi, limukani, liyaxwayiswa lina babusi bomhlaba.
Be wise nowe therefore, ye Kings: be learned ye Iudges of the earth.
11 Mkhonzeni uThixo ngokumesaba, lithokozele umbuso wakhe ngokuthuthumela.
Serue the Lord in feare, and reioyce in trembling.
12 Ikhothameleni iNdodana, funa ithukuthele beselibhujiswa endleleni yenu, ngoba intukuthelo yakhe ingavutha ngesikhatshana. Babusisiwe bonke abaphephela kuye.
Kisse the sonne, least he be angry, and ye perish in the way, when his wrath shall suddenly burne. blessed are all that trust in him.
