Psalms 2

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

Nu ka ta dukɔwo le nugbe ɖom, eye amewo le nu dzodzrowo ɖom?

2 The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against Yahweh, and against his Anointed, saying,

Anyigbadzifiawo ɖo afɔ anyi sesĩe, eye dumegãwo ƒo ta kpli ɖe aɖaŋu me ɖe Yehowa kple eƒe amesiamina la ŋu.

3 “Let’s break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us.”

Wole gbɔgblɔm be, “Mina míado le Yehowa kple eƒe amesiamina la te, eye míana ablɔɖe mía ɖokuiwo.”

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

Ame si woɖo zi dzi le dziƒo la ko nu, eye Yehowa ɖe alɔme le wo ŋu.

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

Tete wòka mo na wo le eƒe dɔmedzoe me, eye wòdo ŋɔdzi na wo le eƒe dziku helĩhelĩ me hegblɔ be,

6 “Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”

“Meɖo nye ŋutɔ nye fia ɖe Zion, nye to kɔkɔe la dzi.”

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

Maɖe gbeƒã Yehowa ƒe sedede la; Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Wòe nye vinye ŋutsu, egbea mezu fofowò.

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

Biam, ne matsɔ dukɔwo awɔ wò domenyinui kple anyigba ƒe seƒewo ke awɔ tɔwòe.

9 You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

Àtsɔ gafiatikplɔ aɖu wo dzii, eye àxlã wo ɖi, woakaka abe ale si ze gbãnae ene.”

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

Eya ta mi fiawo, midze nunya, eye mi anyigbadzidumegãwo, miɖo to nuxlɔ̃ame.

11 Serve Yahweh with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Mitsɔ ɖokuibɔbɔ kple bubu subɔ Yehowa le dzidzɔ gã me kple dzodzo nyanyanya.

12 Give sincere homage to the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish on the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

Mitsɔ ɖokuibɔbɔ do ɖe fia la ŋkume, ne menye nenema o la, ado dziku, eye wòatsrɔ̃ mi kpata, elabena eƒe dɔmedzoe ate ŋu afla ɣe sia ɣi. Woayra ame siwo katã tsɔe wɔ sitsoƒee.
