< Psalms 2 >

1 Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot in vain?
Tipongah Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk loe palungphui o moe, kaminawk loe avang ai hmuen to poek o?
2 The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against Jehovah, and against his Anointed:
Long siangpahrangnawk hoi ukkungnawk loe nawnto amkhueng o moe, Angraeng hoi anih mah situi bawh tangcae kami ih lok to aek o,
3 "Let's tear off their shackles, and throw off their ropes from us."
nihcae ih qui to taprawt pae pat si loe, nihcae ih sumqui doeh vaa pae o ving si, tiah a thuih o.
4 The one who sits in the heavens laughs. Jehovah scoffs at them.
Vannawk ah anghnu kami loe pahnui tih: Angraeng mah nihcae to pahnuithui tih.
5 Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath:
To naah anih mah nihcae to palungphuihaih hoiah thuitaek ueloe, kana parai koeh koi kaom ai anghmang thok khosakhaih to phasak tih.
6 "But I myself have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain."
Toe kaimah ih kaciim Zion mae nuiah, kaimah ih siangpahrang to kang hnutsak boeh, tiah anih mah thuih.
7 I will tell of the decree. Jehovah said to me, "You are my son. Today I have become your father.
Angraeng mah ang thuih ih lok to ka thuih han; nang loe ka Capa ni; nang loe vaihniah kang tapen boeh, tiah ang naa.
8 Ask of me, and I will give the nations as your inheritance, and the farthest parts of the earth for your possession.
Na hniah, to tih nahaeloe Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk to nang han qawk ah kang paek han, nihcae loe longboeng khoek to nang ih qawk ah om o tih.
9 You shall rule them with an iron scepter. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."
Nihcae to sumboeng hoiah na uk ueloe, long laom pakhoih phaeng baktih toengah, nihcae to na vaa phaeng tih.
10 Now therefore, you kings, be wise; receive correction, you judges of the earth.
To pongah nangcae siangpahrangnawk, Palungha oh loe, long ukkungnawk thuitaekhaih lok to tahngai oh.
11 Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Zithaih palungthin hoiah Angraeng ih tok to sah oh loe, tasoeh takuenhaih hoiah anghoe oh.
12 Do homage in purity, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, when his anger is suddenly kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
Capa to mok oh, to tih ai nahaeloe Anih palungphui ueloe, nang loe loklam hoiah nang hmaa ving tih, anih loe palungphui cadoeh akra mak ai. Anih nuiah amha kaminawk boih loe tahamhoih o.
