Zaburi 2

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

Why are the nations in an uproar? And why do the peoples mutter in vain?

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

The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against His anointed:

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

'Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.'

4 Yeye atawalaye mbinguni hucheka, Bwana huwadharau.

He that sitteth in heaven laugheth, the Lord hath them in derision.

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

Then will He speak unto them in His wrath, and affright them in His sore displeasure:

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

'Truly it is I that have established My king upon Zion, My holy mountain.'

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

I will tell of the decree: the LORD said unto 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 the nations for thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth for thy possession.

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

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.'

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

Now therefore, O ye kings, be wise; be admonished, ye judges of the earth.

11 Mtumikieni Bwana kwa hofu na mshangilie kwa kutetemeka.

Serve the LORD 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.

Do homage in purity, lest He be angry, and ye perish in the way, when suddenly His wrath is kindled. Happy are all they that take refuge in Him.
