Mapisarema 2
1 Ndudzi dzinoitireiko bope? Uye vanhu vanofungireiko zvisina maturo?
Wherefore have nations assembled in tumult? Or should, peoples, mutter an empty thing?
2 Madzimambo enyika azvigadzirira uye vabati vanoungana pamwe chete kuti vazorwa naJehovha, uye kuti vazorwisa Muzodziwa Wake.
The kings of earth take their station, and, grave men, have met by appointment together, —against Yahweh, and against his Anointed One [saying]:
3 Vanoti, “Ngatidamburei ngetani dzavo, tigorasa mabote avo.”
Let us break asunder their bonds, —and cast from us their cords!
4 Iye agere pachigaro choushe chokudenga anoseka; Ishe anovadadira.
He that sitteth in the heavens, will laugh, —My Lord, will mock at them:
5 Ipapo anovatuka mukutsamwa kwake uye anovavhundutsa muhasha dzake, achiti,
Then, will he speak unto them in his anger, and, in his wrath, confound them:
6 “Ndakagadza Mambo wangu paZioni, gomo rangu dzvene.”
Yet, I, have installed my king, —on Zion my holy mountain.
7 Ndichaparidza chirevo chaJehovha, ndichiti: Iye akati kwandiri, “Ndiwe Mwanakomana wangu; nhasi ndava Baba vako.
Let me tell of a decree, —Yahweh, hath said unto me, My son, thou art, I, to-day, have begotten thee:
8 Kumbira kwandiri, uye ndichaita kuti ndudzi dzive nhaka yako, migumo yenyika ive yako.
Ask of me, and let me give nations as thine inheritance, and, as thy possession, the ends of the earth:
9 Uchavatonga netsvimbo yesimbi; uchavaputsa kuita zvimedu zvimedu sehari.”
Thou shalt shepherd them with a sceptre of iron, —as a potter’s vessel, shalt thou dash them in pieces.
10 Naizvozvo, imi madzimambo, ngwarai; munyeverwe, imi vabati venyika.
Now, therefore, ye kings, show your prudence, Be admonished, ye judges of earth:
11 Shumirai Jehovha nokutya, uye mufare nokudedera.
Serve Yahweh with reverence, and exult with trembling:
12 Tsvodai Mwanakomana, kuti arege kutsamwa mukazoparadzwa munzira yenyu, nokuti hasha dzake dzingakurumidza kumuka. Vakaropafadzwa vose vanovanda maari.
Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish by the way, for soon might be kindled his anger, —How happy are all who seek refuge in him!
