< Salamo 2 >

1 Nahoana no mitabataba ny jentilisa, ary misaina anoano foana ny firenena?
Why this turmoil of nations, this futile plotting of peoples,
2 Ireo mpanjakan’ ny tany mitsangana, Ary ny mpanapaka miara-mioko hanohitra an’ i Jehovah sy ny Mesiany ka manao hoe:
with kings of the earth conspiring, and rulers consulting together, against the Lord and against his anointed,
3 “Aoka hotosantsika ny famatorany, ka hariantsika hiala amintsika ny famehezany.”
to snap their bonds and fling their cords away?
4 Izay mipetraka any an-danitra mihomehy, ny Tompo maneso ireo.
He whose throne is in heaven laughs, the Lord mocks them.
5 Dia hiteny azy amin’ ny fahavinirany Izy ka hampangorohoro azy amin’ ny fahatezerany hoe:
Then he speaks to them in his wrath, and in his hot anger confounds them.
6 “Izaho kosa efa nanendry ny Mpanjakako Tambonin’ i Ziona, tendrombohitro masìna.”
“This my king is installed by me, on Zion my holy mountain.”
7 “Hilaza zava-boatendry Aho; Jehovah nilaza tamiko hoe: Zanako Hianao, Izaho niteraka anao androany.
I will tell of the Lord’s decree. He said to me: “You are my son, this day I became your father.
8 Mangataha amiko, dia homeko ho lovanao ny jentilisa ary ny faran’ ny tany ho fanananao.
Only ask, and I make you the heir of the nations, and lord of the world to its utmost bounds.
9 Hotorotoroinao amin’ ny tehim-by izy: toy ny famaky vilany tany no hanamontsamontsananao azy.”
You will break them with sceptre of iron, shatter them like pottery.”
10 Ary amin’ izany dia hendre ianareo, ry mpanjaka; minoa anatra ianareo, ry mpitsaran’ ny tany.
So now, you kings, be wise: be warned, you rulers of earth.
11 Manompoa an’ i Jehovah amin’ ny fahatahorana, ary mifalia amin’ ny fangovitana.
Serve the Lord in awe, kiss his feet with trembling,
12 Manoroha ny zanaka, fandrao ho tezitra izy, ka ho very eny an-dalana ianareo; fa vetivety dia hirehitra ny fahatezerany. Sambatra izay rehetra mialoka aminy.
lest, angry, he hurl you to ruin; for soon will his fury blaze. Happy all who take refuge in him.
