1Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?
1Ndudzi dzinoitireiko bope, Navanhu vanofungireiko zvisina maturo?
2The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against Yahweh, and against his Anointed, The word “Anointed” is the same as the word for “Messiah” or “Christ” saying,
2Madzimambo enyika anozvigadzira, Navabati vanorangana, Kuzorwa naJehovha nomuzodziwa wake, vachiti,
3“Let’s break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us.”
3Ngatidambure zvisungo zvavo, Ngatirashe mabote avo abve kwatiri.
4He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” will have them in derision.
4Iye, agere kudenga-denga, achaseka; Ishe achavadadira.
5Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath:
5Ipapo achataura kwavari pakutsamwa kwake, Nokuvavhundusa pahasha dzake huru;
6“Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”
6Kunyange zvakadaro ndakagadza mambo wangu paZiyoni, iro gomo rangu dzvene.
7I will tell of the decree. Yahweh said to me, “You are my son. Today I have become your father.
7Ndichaparidza chirevo, chinoti, Jehovha akati kwandiri, Ndiwe mwanakomana wangu; Nhasi ndakubereka.
8Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
8Kumbira kwandiri, ndikupe ndudzi ive nhaka yako, Nemigumo yenyika zvive zvako.
9You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
9Muchavapwanya netsvimbo youtare; Muchavaputsanya sehari yomuumbi.
10Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
10Zvino chivai nenjere, imwi madzimambo; Munyeverwe, imwi vatongi venyika.
11Serve Yahweh with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
11Shumirai Jehovha nokutya, mufare muchidedera.
12Give sincere homage to the Son or, Kiss the son , lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
12Tsvodai mwanakomana, arege kutsamwa, mufire panzira, nekuti hasha dzake dzingakurumidza kumuka. Vakakomborerwa vose vanovimba naye.
