Amahubo 2

1 Kungani izizwe zixokozela, labantu benakana okuyize?

Why? do they plot nations and peoples do they devise? vanity.

2 Amakhosi omhlaba azimisela, lababusi benza ugobe ndawonye bemelene leNkosi njalo bemelene logcotshiweyo wayo, besithi:

They take their stand - [the] kings of [the] earth and rulers they seat themselves together on Yahweh and on anointed his.

3 Asiqamule izibopho zabo, silahle intambo zabo zisuke kithi.

Let us tear off fetters their and let us throw away from us ropes their.

4 Ohlezi emazulwini uzahleka, iNkosi izabahleka usulu.

[the one who] sits In the heavens he laughs [the] Lord he mocks them.

5 Khona izakhuluma kubo entukuthelweni yayo, ibethuse ngokuvutha kolaka lwayo.

Then he speaks to them in anger his and in fury his he terrifies them.

6 Kube kanti mina ngibekile iNkosi yami phezu kweZiyoni, intaba yami engcwele.

And I I have installed king my on Zion [the] mountain of holiness my.

7 Ngizalandisa ngesimiso: INkosi ithe kimi: Wena uyiNdodana yami, lamuhla ngikuzele.

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, ngizanika izizwe zibe yilifa lakho, lemikhawulo yomhlaba ibe yimfuyo yakho.

Ask from me so let me make nations inheritance your and possession your [the] ends of [the] earth.

9 Uzazephula ngentonga yensimbi, uziphahlaze njengembiza yebumba.

You will break them with a rod of iron like a vessel of a potter you will smash them.

10 Ngakho-ke hlakaniphani makhosi, lilayeke bahluleli bomhlaba.

And therefore O kings act prudently let yourselves be instructed O rulers of [the] earth.

11 Ikhonzeni iNkosi ngokwesaba, lithokoze ngokuthuthumela,

Serve Yahweh with fear and rejoice with trembling.

12 liyange iNdodana, hlezi ithukuthele, libhubhe endleleni, nxa ulaka lwayo seluvutha kancinyane. Babusisiwe bonke abaphephela kuyo.

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.
