Zaburi 2
1 Kwa nini mataifa wanashauriana kufanya mabaya, na kabila za watu kula njama bure?
Why are the nations in tumultuous agitation, and [why] do the peoples meditate a vain thing?
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 princes plot together, against Jehovah and against his anointed:
3 Wanasema, “Tuvunje minyororo yao na kuvitupilia mbali vifungo vyao.”
Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us!
4 Yeye atawalaye mbinguni hucheka, Bwana huwadharau.
He that dwelleth in the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Kisha huwakemea katika hasira yake na kuwaogopesha katika ghadhabu yake, akisema,
Then will he speak to them in his anger, and in his fierce displeasure will he terrify them:
6 “Nimemtawaza Mfalme wangu juu ya Sayuni, mlima wangu mtakatifu.”
And I have anointed my king upon Zion, the hill of my holiness.
7 Nitatangaza amri ya Bwana: Yeye aliniambia, “Wewe ni Mwanangu, leo mimi nimekuzaa.
I will declare the decree: Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; I this day 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 nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the ends of the earth:
9 Utawatawala kwa fimbo ya chuma na kuwavunjavunja kama chombo cha mfinyanzi.”
Thou shalt break them with a sceptre of iron, as a potter's vessel thou shalt dash them in pieces.
10 Kwa hiyo, ninyi wafalme, kuweni na hekima; mwonyeke, enyi watawala wa dunia.
And now, O kings, be ye wise, be admonished, 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, though his anger burn but a little. Blessed are all who have their trust in him.
