Psalms 2
1 Èéṣe tí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè fi ń dìtẹ̀, àti tí àwọn ènìyàn ń ṣe rìkíṣí asán?
Why have the Gentiles been seething, and why have the people been pondering nonsense?
2 Àwọn ọba ayé péjọpọ̀ àti àwọn ìjòyè gbìmọ̀ pọ̀ sí Olúwa àti sí ẹni àmì òróró rẹ̀.
The kings of the earth have stood up, and the leaders have joined together as one, against the Lord and against his Christ:
3 Wọ́n sọ pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí a fa ẹ̀wọ̀n wọn já, kí a sì ju ṣẹ́kẹ́ṣẹkẹ̀ wọn nù.”
“Let us shatter their chains and cast their yoke away from us.”
4 Ẹni tí ó gúnwà lórí ìtẹ́ lọ́run rẹ́rìn-ín; Olúwa fi wọ́n rẹ́rìn-ín ẹlẹ́yà.
He who dwells in heaven will ridicule them, and the Lord will mock them.
5 Nígbà náà ni yóò bá wọn wí ní ìbínú rẹ̀ yóò sì dẹ́rùbà wọ́n ní ìrunú rẹ̀, ó wí pé,
Then will he speak to them in his anger and trouble them with his fury.
6 “Èmi ti fi ọba mi sí ipò lórí Sioni, òkè mímọ́ mi.”
Yet I have been appointed king by him over Zion, his holy mountain, preaching his precepts.
7 Èmi yóò sì kéde ìpinnu Olúwa: Ó sọ fún mi pé, “Ìwọ ni ọmọ mi; lónìí, èmi ti di baba rẹ.
The Lord has said to me: You are my son, this day have I begotten you.
8 Béèrè lọ́wọ́ mi, Èmi yóò jẹ́ kí orílẹ̀-èdè di ìní rẹ, òpin ilé ayé yóò sì jẹ́ ogún rẹ.
Ask of me and I will give to you: the Gentiles for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession.
9 Ìwọ yóò fi ọ̀pá irin ṣe àkóso wọn ìwọ yóò sì rún wọn wómúwómú bí ìkòkò amọ̀.”
You will rule them with an iron rod, and you will shatter them like a potter’s vessel.
10 Nítorí náà, ẹ̀yin ọba, ẹ jẹ́ ọlọ́gbọ́n; ẹ gbọ́ ìkìlọ̀ ẹ̀yin alákòóso ayé.
And now, O kings, understand. Receive instruction, you who judge the earth.
11 Ẹ sin Olúwa pẹ̀lú ìbẹ̀rù ẹ sì máa yọ̀ pẹ̀lú ìwárìrì.
Serve the Lord in fear, and exult in him with trembling.
12 Fi ẹnu ko ọmọ náà ní ẹnu, kí ó má ba à bínú, kí ó má ba à pa yín run ní ọ̀nà yín, nítorí ìbínú rẹ̀ lè ru sókè ní ẹ̀ẹ̀kan. Ìbùkún ni fún gbogbo àwọn tí ó fi í ṣe ibi ìsádi wọn.
Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord might become angry, and you would perish from the way of the just. Though his wrath can flare up in a short time, blessed are all those who trust in him.
