< Amahubo 2 >

1 Kungani izizwe zixokozela, labantu besakha amacebo ngeze?
Why have nations assembled tumultuously? And peoples meditate vanity?
2 Amakhosi omhlaba ayahloma ajame lababusi bahlangana ndawonye bemelana loThixo njalo lalowo ogcotshiweyo wakhe besithi;
Kings of the earth station themselves, and princes have been united together, against YHWH, and against His Messiah:
3 “Kasiwaqamuleni amaketane abo, silahle izibopho zabo.”
“Let us draw off Their cords, And cast Their thick bands from us.”
4 Yena osesihlalweni ezulwini uyahleka; uThixo uyabahleka.
He who is sitting in the heavens laughs, The Lord mocks at them.
5 Abesebakhalimela ngolaka, abathuthumelise ngentukuthelo yakhe, esithi,
Then He speaks to them in His anger, and in His wrath He troubles them:
6 “Sengiyibekile eyami inkosi phezu kweZiyoni, intaba yami engcwele.”
“And I have anointed My King, On Zion—My holy hill.”
7 Ngizasimemezela isimiso sikaThixo: Wathi kimi, “UyiNdodana yami; lamhla sengibe nguyihlo.
I declare concerning a statute: YHWH said to me, “You [are] My Son, today I have brought You forth.
8 Cela kimi, ngizakwenza izizwe zibe yilifa lakho, imikhawulo yomhlaba kube yinotho yakho.
Ask of Me and I give nations [as] Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth [for] Your possession.
9 Uzazibusa ngentonga yobukhosi eyensimbi, uzazibhidliza zicubuzeke njengebumba.”
You rule them with a scepter of iron, You crush them as a vessel of a potter.”
10 Ngakho-ke lina makhosi, limukani, liyaxwayiswa lina babusi bomhlaba.
And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
11 Mkhonzeni uThixo ngokumesaba, lithokozele umbuso wakhe ngokuthuthumela.
Serve YHWH with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
12 Ikhothameleni iNdodana, funa ithukuthele beselibhujiswa endleleni yenu, ngoba intukuthelo yakhe ingavutha ngesikhatshana. Babusisiwe bonke abaphephela kuye.
Kiss the Chosen One [[or Son]], lest He is angry, And you perish [from] the way, When His anger burns but a little, O the blessedness of all trusting in Him!
