< Amahubo 2 >
1 Kungani izizwe zixokozela, labantu besakha amacebo ngeze?
Why? do they plot nations and peoples do they devise? vanity.
2 Amakhosi omhlaba ayahloma ajame lababusi bahlangana ndawonye bemelana loThixo njalo lalowo ogcotshiweyo wakhe besithi;
They take their stand - [the] kings of [the] earth and rulers they seat themselves together on Yahweh and on anointed his.
3 “Kasiwaqamuleni amaketane abo, silahle izibopho zabo.”
Let us tear off fetters their and let us throw away from us ropes their.
4 Yena osesihlalweni ezulwini uyahleka; uThixo uyabahleka.
[the one who] sits In the heavens he laughs [the] Lord he mocks them.
5 Abesebakhalimela ngolaka, abathuthumelise ngentukuthelo yakhe, esithi,
Then he speaks to them in anger his and in fury his he terrifies them.
6 “Sengiyibekile eyami inkosi phezu kweZiyoni, intaba yami engcwele.”
And I I have installed king my on Zion [the] mountain of holiness my.
7 Ngizasimemezela isimiso sikaThixo: Wathi kimi, “UyiNdodana yami; lamhla sengibe nguyihlo.
I will recount concerning [the] decree of Yahweh he said to me [are] son my you I this day I have begotten you.
8 Cela kimi, ngizakwenza izizwe zibe yilifa lakho, imikhawulo yomhlaba kube yinotho yakho.
Ask from me so let me make nations inheritance your and possession your [the] ends of [the] earth.
9 Uzazibusa ngentonga yobukhosi eyensimbi, uzazibhidliza zicubuzeke njengebumba.”
You will break them with a rod of iron like a vessel of a potter you will smash them.
10 Ngakho-ke lina makhosi, limukani, liyaxwayiswa lina babusi bomhlaba.
And therefore O kings act prudently let yourselves be instructed O rulers of [the] earth.
11 Mkhonzeni uThixo ngokumesaba, lithokozele umbuso wakhe ngokuthuthumela.
Serve Yahweh 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] son lest he should be angry - and you may perish way if it burns like a little anger his how blessed! [are] all [those who] seek refuge in him.
