Zaburi 2
1 Kwa nini mataifa wanafanya dhoruba, kwa nini watu wanafanya njama ambazo zitafeli?
Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?
2 Wafalme wa nchi kwa pamoja hushikilia misimamo yao na watawala kwa pamoja hufanya njama kinyume na Yahwe na kinyume na Masihi, wakisema,
The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his Anointed, saying,
3 “Ngoja tuzikate pingu walizo tufingia sisi na kuzitupa pingu zao.”
“Let’s break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us.”
4 Yeye aketie katika mbingu atacheka kwa dharau mbele yao; Bwana atawadhihaki wao.
He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.
5 Kisha ataongea nao katika hasira yake na kuwaogofya kwa gadhabu yake, akisema,
Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath:
6 “Mimi mwenyewe nilimpaka mafuta mfalme wa Sayuni, mlima wangu mtakatifu.”
“Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”
7 Nami nitatangaza amri ya Yahwe. Yeye aliniambia, “wewe ni mwanangu! Leo hii nimekuwa baba yako.
I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, “You are my son. Today I have become your father.
8 Uniombe, nami nitakupa wewe taifa kwa ajili ya urithi na mikoa ya nchi iliyo bora kwa ajili ya umiliki wako.
Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
9 Wewe utawavunja wao kwa fimbo ya chuma; kama vile mtungi wa mfinyanzi, wewe utawavunja wao vipande vipande.”
You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
10 Hivyo sasa, ninyi wafalme; mchukue tahadhari; mjirekebishe.
Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Mwabuduni Yahwe kwa hofu na mfurahi mkitetemeka.
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Mumbusu mwana vinginevyo atawakasirikia, na mtakufa pale pale hasira yake ikiwaka. Ni jinsi gani wamebarikiwa wale wote watafutao usalama ndani yake.
Give sincere homage to the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish on the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
