Zaburi 2

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

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine 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 rulers take counsel together, against YHWH, and against his anointed, saying,

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 the heavens shall laugh: YHWH shall have them in derision.

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

Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

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

Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

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

I will declare the decree: YHWH hath 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 shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts 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.

Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

11 Mtumikieni Bwana kwa hofu na mshangilie kwa kutetemeka.

Serve YHWH 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 from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
