Psalms 2

1 Èéṣe tí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè fi ń dìtẹ̀, àti tí àwọn ènìyàn ń ṣe rìkíṣí asán?

Why this turmoil of nations, this futile plotting of peoples,

2 Àwọn ọba ayé péjọpọ̀ àti àwọn ìjòyè gbìmọ̀ pọ̀ sí Olúwa àti sí ẹni àmì òróró rẹ̀.

with kings of the earth conspiring, and rulers consulting together, against the Lord and against his anointed,

3 Wọ́n sọ pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí a fa ẹ̀wọ̀n wọn já, kí a sì ju ṣẹ́kẹ́ṣẹkẹ̀ wọn nù.”

to snap their bonds and fling their cords away?

4 Ẹni tí ó gúnwà lórí ìtẹ́ lọ́run rẹ́rìn-ín; Olúwa fi wọ́n rẹ́rìn-ín ẹlẹ́yà.

He whose throne is in heaven laughs, the Lord mocks them.

5 Nígbà náà ni yóò bá wọn wí ní ìbínú rẹ̀ yóò sì dẹ́rùbà wọ́n ní ìrunú rẹ̀, ó wí pé,

Then he speaks to them in his wrath, and in his hot anger confounds them.

6 “Èmi ti fi ọba mi sí ipò lórí Sioni, òkè mímọ́ mi.”

‘This my king is installed by me, on Zion my holy mountain.’

7 Èmi yóò sì kéde ìpinnu Olúwa: Ó sọ fún mi pé, “Ìwọ ni ọmọ mi; lónìí, èmi ti di baba rẹ.

I will tell of the Lord’s decree. He said to me: ‘You are my son, this day I became your father.

8 Béèrè lọ́wọ́ mi, Èmi yóò jẹ́ kí orílẹ̀-èdè di ìní rẹ, òpin ilé ayé yóò sì jẹ́ ogún rẹ.

Only ask, and I make you the heir of the nations, and lord of the world to its utmost bounds.

9 Ìwọ yóò fi ọ̀pá irin ṣe àkóso wọn ìwọ yóò sì rún wọn wómúwómú bí ìkòkò amọ̀.”

You will break them with sceptre of iron, shatter them like pottery.’

10 Nítorí náà, ẹ̀yin ọba, ẹ jẹ́ ọlọ́gbọ́n; ẹ gbọ́ ìkìlọ̀ ẹ̀yin alákòóso ayé.

So now, you kings, be wise: be warned, you rulers of earth.

11 Ẹ sin Olúwa pẹ̀lú ìbẹ̀rù ẹ sì máa yọ̀ pẹ̀lú ìwárìrì.

Serve the Lord in awe, kiss his feet 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.

lest, angry, he hurl you to ruin; for soon will his fury blaze. Happy all who take refuge in him.
