1Ndudzi dzinoitireiko bope, Navanhu vanofungireiko zvisina maturo?
1Why are the nations in tumultuous agitation, and [why] do the peoples meditate a vain thing?
2Madzimambo enyika anozvigadzira, Navabati vanorangana, Kuzorwa naJehovha nomuzodziwa wake, vachiti,
2The kings of the earth set themselves, and the princes plot together, against Jehovah and against his anointed:
3Ngatidambure zvisungo zvavo, Ngatirashe mabote avo abve kwatiri.
3Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us!
4Iye, agere kudenga-denga, achaseka; Ishe achavadadira.
4He that dwelleth in the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall have them in derision.
5Ipapo achataura kwavari pakutsamwa kwake, Nokuvavhundusa pahasha dzake huru;
5Then will he speak to them in his anger, and in his fierce displeasure will he terrify them:
6Kunyange zvakadaro ndakagadza mambo wangu paZiyoni, iro gomo rangu dzvene.
6And *I* have anointed my king upon Zion, the hill of my holiness.
7Ndichaparidza chirevo, chinoti, Jehovha akati kwandiri, Ndiwe mwanakomana wangu; Nhasi ndakubereka.
7I will declare the decree: Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; *I* this day have begotten thee.
8Kumbira kwandiri, ndikupe ndudzi ive nhaka yako, Nemigumo yenyika zvive zvako.
8Ask of me, and I will give thee nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the ends of the earth:
9Muchavapwanya netsvimbo youtare; Muchavaputsanya sehari yomuumbi.
9Thou shalt break them with a sceptre of iron, as a potter's vessel thou shalt dash them in pieces.
10Zvino chivai nenjere, imwi madzimambo; Munyeverwe, imwi vatongi venyika.
10And now, O kings, be ye wise, be admonished, ye judges of the earth.
11Shumirai Jehovha nokutya, mufare muchidedera.
11Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12Tsvodai mwanakomana, arege kutsamwa, mufire panzira, nekuti hasha dzake dzingakurumidza kumuka. Vakakomborerwa vose vanovimba naye.
12Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, though his anger burn but a little. Blessed are all who have their trust in him.
