Zaburi 2

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

Why do the nations rage, and the peoples 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 the LORD, 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: the Lord 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 I have set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

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 thee the nations 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.

Now therefore be wise, O ye kings: be instructed, 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.

Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
