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 a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his Anointed:
3 “Ngoja tuzikate pingu walizo tufingia sisi na kuzitupa pingu zao.”
"Let's tear off their shackles, and throw off their ropes from us."
4 Yeye aketie katika mbingu atacheka kwa dharau mbele yao; Bwana atawadhihaki wao.
The one who sits in the heavens laughs. The LORD scoffs at them.
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.”
"But I myself have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain."
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 as your inheritance, and the farthest 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 rule them with an iron scepter. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."
10 Hivyo sasa, ninyi wafalme; mchukue tahadhari; mjirekebishe.
Now therefore, you kings, be wise; receive correction, 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.
Do homage in purity, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, when his anger is suddenly kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
