Psalms 2

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

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 the LORD, and against his Anointed, saying,

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 break their bonds apart, and cast their cords 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 He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.

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

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: The LORD 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 for your inheritance, the uttermost 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 break them with a rod of iron. 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 be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

To pongah nangcae siangpahrangnawk, Palungha oh loe, long ukkungnawk thuitaekhaih lok to tahngai oh.

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

Zithaih palungthin hoiah Angraeng ih tok to sah oh loe, tasoeh takuenhaih hoiah anghoe oh.

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.

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.
