Psalms 2

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

1 Kwa nini mataifa wanashauriana kufanya mabaya, na kabila za watu kula njama bure?

2 The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One:

2 Wafalme wa dunia wanajipanga na watawala wanajikusanya pamoja dhidi ya Bwana na dhidi ya Mpakwa Mafuta wake.

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

3 Wanasema, “Tuvunje minyororo yao na kuvitupilia mbali vifungo vyao.”

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

4 Yeye atawalaye mbinguni hucheka, Bwana huwadharau.

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

5 Kisha huwakemea katika hasira yake na kuwaogopesha katika ghadhabu yake, akisema,

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

6 “Nimemtawaza Mfalme wangu juu ya Sayuni, mlima wangu mtakatifu.”

7 I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.

7 Nitatangaza amri ya Bwana: Yeye aliniambia, “Wewe ni Mwanangu, leo mimi nimekuzaa.

8 Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession.

8 Niombe, nami nitayafanya mataifa kuwa urithi wako, miisho ya dunia kuwa milki yako.

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

9 Utawatawala kwa fimbo ya chuma na kuwavunjavunja kama chombo cha mfinyanzi.”

10 Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O judges of the earth.

10 Kwa hiyo, ninyi wafalme, kuweni na hekima; mwonyeke, enyi watawala wa dunia.

11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

11 Mtumikieni Bwana kwa hofu na mshangilie kwa kutetemeka.

12 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.

12 Mbusu Mwana, asije akakasirika nawe ukaangamizwa katika njia yako, kwa maana hasira yake inaweza kuwaka ghafula. Heri wote wanaomkimbilia.
