Dwom 2
1Adɛn nti na amanaman no hyehyɛ bɔne ho
na nnipa no bɔ pɔw hunu yi?
2Asase so ahemfo sɔre gyina
na sodifo ka wɔn ho bɔ mu
tia Awurade ne Nea Wɔasra no no.
3Wɔka se,
“Momma yemmubu wɔn nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn
na yɛntow wɔn mpokyerɛ ngu.”
4Nea ɔte agua so wɔ ɔsoro no serew;
Awurade di wɔn ho fɛw.
5Afei ɔka wɔn anim wɔ nʼabufuw mu,
hunahuna wɔn wɔ nʼabufuwhyew mu, ka se,
6“Masi me Hene
wɔ Sion, me bepɔw kronkron no so.”
7Mɛpae mu aka Awurade ahyɛde:
Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Woyɛ me Ba;
nnɛ mayɛ wʼAgya.
8Bisa me,
na mede amanaman nyinaa bɛyɛ wʼagyapade,
asase ano nyinaa bɛyɛ wo de.
9Wode dade ahempema bedi wɔn so;
na woabobɔ wɔn sɛ ɔnwemfo ahina.”
10Enti mo ahemfo, munsua nyansa;
monkae kɔkɔbɔ yi, mo asase sodifo.
11Momfa osuro nsom Awurade
na monsɛpɛw mo ho ahopopo mu.
12Mumfew Ɔba no ano, na ne bo amfuw
na mo akwan de mo bɛkɔ ɔsɛe mu,
efisɛ nʼabufuwhyew tumi sɔre mpofirim.
Nhyira ne wɔn a woguan toa no nyinaa.
Psalm 2
1Why do the nations conspire2:1 Hebrew; Septuagint rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
2The kings of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
3‘Let us break their chains
and throw off their shackles.’
4The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.
5He rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6‘I have installed my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.’
7I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:
He said to me, ‘You are my son;
today I have become your father.
8Ask me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
9You will break them with a rod of iron2:9 Or will rule them with an iron sceptre (see Septuagint and Syriac);
you will dash them to pieces like pottery.’
10Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11Serve the Lord with fear
and celebrate his rule with trembling.
12Kiss his son, or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
