Zaburi 2
1 Kwa nini mataifa wanashauriana kufanya mabaya, na kabila za watu kula njama bure?
Why do the nations rage, and the peoples meditate vain things?
2 Wafalme wa dunia wanajipanga na watawala wanajikusanya pamoja dhidi ya Bwana na dhidi ya Mpakwa Mafuta wake.
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against Jehovah, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Wanasema, “Tuvunje minyororo yao na kuvitupilia mbali vifungo vyao.”
Let us break their bonds apart, and cast away their cords from us.
4 Yeye atawalaye mbinguni hucheka, Bwana huwadharau.
He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.
5 Kisha huwakemea katika hasira yake na kuwaogopesha katika ghadhabu yake, akisema,
Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and vex them in his great displeasure.
6 “Nimemtawaza Mfalme wangu juu ya Sayuni, mlima wangu mtakatifu.”
Yet I have set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 Nitatangaza amri ya Bwana: Yeye aliniambia, “Wewe ni Mwanangu, leo mimi nimekuzaa.
I will tell of the decree. Jehovah said to me, Thou are my Son, this day I have begotten thee.
8 Niombe, nami nitayafanya mataifa kuwa urithi wako, miisho ya dunia kuwa milki yako.
Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, and the outermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Utawatawala kwa fimbo ya chuma na kuwavunjavunja kama chombo cha mfinyanzi.”
Thou shall break them with a rod of iron, thou shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 Kwa hiyo, ninyi wafalme, kuweni na hekima; mwonyeke, enyi watawala wa dunia.
Now therefore be wise, O ye kings. Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Mtumikieni Bwana kwa hofu na mshangilie kwa kutetemeka.
Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Mbusu Mwana, asije akakasirika nawe ukaangamizwa katika njia yako, kwa maana hasira yake inaweza kuwaka ghafula. Heri wote wanaomkimbilia.
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
