Faarfannaa 2

1 Namoonni maaliif akkanumaan malatu? Saboonnis maaliif waan akkanumaan mariʼatu?

Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish?

2 Mootonni lafaa kaʼanii, bulchitoonnis Waaqayyoo fi Masiihii isaatiin mormuuf walitti qabaman;

The kings of the earth have taken their place, and the rulers are fixed in their purpose, against the Lord, and against the king of his selection, saying,

3 isaanis, “Kottaa foncaa isaanii of irraa kukkunnaa; hidhaa isaaniis of irraa hiiknee gannaa” jedhu.

Let their chains be broken, and their cords taken from off us.

4 Inni samii keessa, teessoo irra taaʼee jiru ni kolfa; Gooftaanis isaanitti qoosa.

Then he whose seat is in the heavens will be laughing: the Lord will make sport of them.

5 Innis aarii isaatiin isaan ifata; dheekkamsa isaatiinis isaan naasisa;

Then will his angry words come to their ears, and by his wrath they will be troubled:

6 innis, “Ani tulluu koo qulqulluu irra, Xiyoon irra, mootii koo teessifadheera” jedha.

But I have put my king on my holy hill of Zion.

7 Ani seera Waaqayyoo nan labsa: innis akkana anaan jedhe; “Ati ilma koo ti; ani harʼa si dhalcheera.

I will make clear the Lord's decision: he has said to me, You are my son, this day have I given you being.

8 Na kadhadhu; ani saboota dhaala kee, handaara lafaas qabeenya kee godhee siifan kenna.

Make your request to me, and I will give you the nations for your heritage, and the farthest limits of the earth will be under your hand.

9 Ati ulee sibiilaatiin isaan cabsita; akka qodaa supheettis isaan hurreessita.”

They will be ruled by you with a rod of iron; they will be broken like a potter's vessel.

10 Kanaafuu yaa mootota, qalbeeffadhaa; bulchitoonni lafaas of eeggadhaa.

So now be wise, you kings: take his teaching, you judges of the earth.

11 Sodaadhaan Waaqayyoon tajaajilaa; hollachaas gammadaa.

Give worship to the Lord with fear, kissing his feet and giving him honour,

12 Akka inni hin aarreef, isinis akka karaa irratti hin badneef ilma isaa dhungadhaa; dheekkamsi isaa dafee bobaʼaatii. Warri isatti kooluu galan hundi eebbifamoo dha.

For fear that he may be angry, causing destruction to come on you, because he is quickly moved to wrath. Happy are all those who put their faith in him.
