Zaburi 2 (Swahili) Psalms 2 (English)

Mbona mataifa wanafanya ghasia, Na makabila wanatafakari ubatili? Zaburi 2:1

Why do the nations rage, And the peoples plot a vain thing?

Wafalme wa dunia wanajipanga, Na wakuu wanafanya shauri pamoja, Juu ya Bwana, Na juu ya masihi wake. Zaburi 2:2

The kings of the earth take a stand, And the rulers take counsel together, Against Yahweh, and against his anointed,{The word "anointed" is the same as the word for "Messiah" or "Christ"} saying,

Na tuvipasue vifungo vyao, Na kuzitupia mbali nasi kamba zao. Zaburi 2:3

"Let's break their bonds apart, And cast away their cords from us."

Yeye aketiye mbinguni anacheka, Bwana anawafanyia dhihaka. Zaburi 2:4

He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.

Ndipo atakaposema nao kwa hasira yake, Na kuwafadhaisha kwa ghadhabu yake. Zaburi 2:5

Then he will speak to them in his anger, And terrify them in his wrath:

Nami nimemweka mfalme wangu Juu ya Sayuni, mlima wangu mtakatifu. Zaburi 2:6

"Yet I have set my king on my holy hill of Zion."

Nitaihubiri amri; Bwana aliniambia, Ndiwe mwanangu, Mimi leo nimekuzaa. Zaburi 2:7

I will tell of the decree. Yahweh said to me, "You are my son. Today I have become your father.

Uniombe, nami nitakupa mataifa kuwa urithi wako, Na miisho ya dunia kuwa milki yako. Zaburi 2:8

Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, The uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.

Utawaponda kwa fimbo ya chuma, Na kuwavunja kama chombo cha mfinyanzi. Zaburi 2:9

You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."

Na sasa, enyi wafalme, fanyeni akili, Enyi waamuzi wa dunia, mwadibiwe. Zaburi 2:10

Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

Mtumikieni Bwana kwa kicho, Shangilieni kwa kutetemeka. Zaburi 2:11

Serve Yahweh with fear, And rejoice with trembling.

Shikeni yaliyo bora asije akafanya hasira, Nanyi mkapotea njiani,Kwa kuwa hasira yake itawaka upesi,Heri wote wanaomkimbilia.

Zaburi 2:12

Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
