< Mapisarema 2 >
1 Ndudzi dzinoitireiko bope? Uye vanhu vanofungireiko zvisina maturo?
Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity?
2 Madzimambo enyika azvigadzirira uye vabati vanoungana pamwe chete kuti vazorwa naJehovha, uye kuti vazorwisa Muzodziwa Wake.
Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah:
3 Vanoti, “Ngatidamburei ngetani dzavo, tigorasa mabote avo.”
'Let us draw off Their cords, And cast from us Their thick bands.'
4 Iye agere pachigaro choushe chokudenga anoseka; Ishe anovadadira.
He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.
5 Ipapo anovatuka mukutsamwa kwake uye anovavhundutsa muhasha dzake, achiti,
Then doth He speak unto them in His anger, And in His wrath He doth trouble them:
6 “Ndakagadza Mambo wangu paZioni, gomo rangu dzvene.”
'And I — I have anointed My King, Upon Zion — My holy hill.'
7 Ndichaparidza chirevo chaJehovha, ndichiti: Iye akati kwandiri, “Ndiwe Mwanakomana wangu; nhasi ndava Baba vako.
I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, 'My Son Thou [art], I to-day have brought thee forth.
8 Kumbira kwandiri, uye ndichaita kuti ndudzi dzive nhaka yako, migumo yenyika ive yako.
Ask of Me and I give nations — thy inheritance, And thy possession — the ends of earth.
9 Uchavatonga netsvimbo yesimbi; uchavaputsa kuita zvimedu zvimedu sehari.”
Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.'
10 Naizvozvo, imi madzimambo, ngwarai; munyeverwe, imi vabati venyika.
And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
11 Shumirai Jehovha nokutya, uye mufare nokudedera.
Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
12 Tsvodai Mwanakomana, kuti arege kutsamwa mukazoparadzwa munzira yenyu, nokuti hasha dzake dzingakurumidza kumuka. Vakaropafadzwa vose vanovanda maari.
Kiss the Chosen One, lest He be angry, And ye lose the way, When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness of all trusting in Him!
