Zaburi 2

1 Kwa nini mataifa wanashauriana kufanya mabaya, na kabila za watu kula njama bure?

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

2 Wafalme wa dunia wanajipanga na watawala wanajikusanya pamoja dhidi ya Bwana na dhidi ya Mpakwa Mafuta wake.

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 Wanasema, “Tuvunje minyororo yao na kuvitupilia mbali vifungo vyao.”

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

4 Yeye atawalaye mbinguni hucheka, Bwana huwadharau.

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

5 Kisha huwakemea katika hasira yake na kuwaogopesha katika ghadhabu yake, akisema,

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

6 “Nimemtawaza Mfalme wangu juu ya Sayuni, mlima wangu mtakatifu.”

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

7 Nitatangaza amri ya Bwana: Yeye aliniambia, “Wewe ni Mwanangu, leo mimi nimekuzaa.

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 Niombe, nami nitayafanya mataifa kuwa urithi wako, miisho ya dunia kuwa milki yako.

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 Utawatawala kwa fimbo ya chuma na kuwavunjavunja kama chombo cha mfinyanzi.”

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

10 Kwa hiyo, ninyi wafalme, kuweni na hekima; mwonyeke, enyi watawala wa dunia.

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

11 Mtumikieni Bwana kwa hofu na mshangilie kwa kutetemeka.

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

12 Mbusu Mwana, asije akakasirika nawe ukaangamizwa katika njia yako, kwa maana hasira yake inaweza kuwaka ghafula. Heri wote wanaomkimbilia.

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.
