Zaburi 2

1 Kwa nini mataifa wanafanya dhoruba, kwa nini watu wanafanya njama ambazo zitafeli?

Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?

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 their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One:

3 “Ngoja tuzikate pingu walizo tufingia sisi na kuzitupa pingu zao.”

“Let us break Their chains and cast away Their cords.”

4 Yeye aketie katika mbingu atacheka kwa dharau mbele yao; Bwana atawadhihaki wao.

The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them.

5 Kisha ataongea nao katika hasira yake na kuwaogofya kwa gadhabu yake, akisema,

Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury:

6 “Mimi mwenyewe nilimpaka mafuta mfalme wa Sayuni, mlima wangu mtakatifu.”

“I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.”

7 Nami nitatangaza amri ya Yahwe. Yeye aliniambia, “wewe ni mwanangu! Leo hii nimekuwa baba yako.

I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “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 Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession.

9 Wewe utawavunja wao kwa fimbo ya chuma; kama vile mtungi wa mfinyanzi, wewe utawavunja wao vipande vipande.”

You will break them with an iron scepter; You will shatter them like pottery.”

10 Hivyo sasa, ninyi wafalme; mchukue tahadhari; mjirekebishe.

Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O 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.

Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you perish in your rebellion, when His wrath ignites in an instant. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.
