Zaburi 2
1 Kwa nini mataifa wanashauriana kufanya mabaya, na kabila za watu kula njama bure?
Why are the nations plotting rebellion? The peoples devise schemes, but they're pointless.
2 Wafalme wa dunia wanajipanga na watawala wanajikusanya pamoja dhidi ya Bwana na dhidi ya Mpakwa Mafuta wake.
The kings of the world prepare to attack, and the rulers conspire together against the Lord and his anointed one, saying,
3 Wanasema, “Tuvunje minyororo yao na kuvitupilia mbali vifungo vyao.”
“Let's break the chains and throw away the cords that bind us.”
4 Yeye atawalaye mbinguni hucheka, Bwana huwadharau.
But the one who sits enthroned in heaven laughs. The Lord mocks them.
5 Kisha huwakemea katika hasira yake na kuwaogopesha katika ghadhabu yake, akisema,
He will thunder at them, and terrify them in his fury, saying,
6 “Nimemtawaza Mfalme wangu juu ya Sayuni, mlima wangu mtakatifu.”
“It is I who placed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7 Nitatangaza amri ya Bwana: Yeye aliniambia, “Wewe ni Mwanangu, leo mimi nimekuzaa.
“I will proclaim the Lord's decree,” says the king. “He told me, ‘You are my son. Today I have become your father.
8 Niombe, nami nitayafanya mataifa kuwa urithi wako, miisho ya dunia kuwa milki yako.
Ask me, and I will give you the nations as your possessions—the whole earth will belong to you.
9 Utawatawala kwa fimbo ya chuma na kuwavunjavunja kama chombo cha mfinyanzi.”
You will break them with a rod of iron, smashing them like pottery.’”
10 Kwa hiyo, ninyi wafalme, kuweni na hekima; mwonyeke, enyi watawala wa dunia.
So then you kings, be wise! Be warned, you rulers of the world!
11 Mtumikieni Bwana kwa hofu na mshangilie kwa kutetemeka.
Serve the Lord in reverence, celebrate with trembling!
12 Mbusu Mwana, asije akakasirika nawe ukaangamizwa katika njia yako, kwa maana hasira yake inaweza kuwaka ghafula. Heri wote wanaomkimbilia.
Submit to his son so that he will not become angry and you die suddenly. His anger flares up quickly, but how happy are all those who go to him for protection.
