Zaburi 2
1 Kwa nini mataifa wanashauriana kufanya mabaya, na kabila za watu kula njama bure?
Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised 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 stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord and against his Christ.
3 Wanasema, “Tuvunje minyororo yao na kuvitupilia mbali vifungo vyao.”
Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us.
4 Yeye atawalaye mbinguni hucheka, Bwana huwadharau.
He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them.
5 Kisha huwakemea katika hasira yake na kuwaogopesha katika ghadhabu yake, akisema,
Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage.
6 “Nimemtawaza Mfalme wangu juu ya Sayuni, mlima wangu mtakatifu.”
But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, preaching his commandment.
7 Nitatangaza amri ya Bwana: Yeye aliniambia, “Wewe ni Mwanangu, leo mimi nimekuzaa.
The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I 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 Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Utawatawala kwa fimbo ya chuma na kuwavunjavunja kama chombo cha mfinyanzi.”
Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10 Kwa hiyo, ninyi wafalme, kuweni na hekima; mwonyeke, enyi watawala wa dunia.
And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
11 Mtumikieni Bwana kwa hofu na mshangilie kwa kutetemeka.
Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling.
12 Mbusu Mwana, asije akakasirika nawe ukaangamizwa katika njia yako, kwa maana hasira yake inaweza kuwaka ghafula. Heri wote wanaomkimbilia.
Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you perish from the just way. When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, blessed are all they that trust in him.
