Psalms 2
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Why are the nations in an uproar? And why do the peoples mutter in vain?
1NO ke aha la e kupikipikio ai ko ka aina e? A e noonoo ai ka poe kanaka i ka mea lapuwale?
2The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against His anointed:
2Ua ku e aku na'lii o ka honua, Ua ohumu pu aku no hoi na luna, Ia Iehova, a i kona Mea i poniia,
3'Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.'
3E moku aku kakou i ka laua mau mea paa, A e hoolei aku hoi mai o kakou aku nei i ka laua mau kaula.
4He that sitteth in heaven laugheth, the Lord hath them in derision.
4O ka Mea e noho ana ma ka lani, e aka mai no ia: A e hoomahua mai no hoi o ka Haku ia lakou.
5Then will He speak unto them in His wrath, and affright them in His sore displeasure:
5Alaila e olelo mai oia ia lakou i kona inaina, A e hoomakaua mai hoi ia lakou i kona huhu nui.
6'Truly it is I that have established My king upon Zion, My holy mountain.'
6Ua poni ae nei au i ka'u Alii maluna o Ziona, Maluna iho o ko'u mauna hoano.
7I will tell of the decree: the LORD said unto me: 'Thou art My son, this day have I begotten thee.
7E hai aku au i ke kauoha: Ua olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u, O oe no ka'u Keiki; I keia la no, ua hoohanau aku wau ia oe.
8Ask of Me, and I will give the nations for thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth for thy possession.
8E noi mai oe ia'u, a e haawi aku au ia oe I na lahuikanaka i hooilina nou, A i waiwai hoi nou na welelau o ka honua.
9Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.'
9E uhai oe ia lakou me ke kookoo hao: E ulupa hoi oe ia lakou me he ipulepo la.
10Now therefore, O ye kings, be wise; be admonished, ye judges of the earth.
10No ia hoi, e hoonaauao oukou, e na alii; E aoia'ku no hoi oukou, e na lunakanawai o ka honua.
11Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
11E malama ia Iehova me ka weliweli, E hauoli hoi oukou me ka haalulu.
12Do homage in purity, lest He be angry, and ye perish in the way, when suddenly His wrath is kindled. Happy are all they that take refuge in Him.
12E honi aku i ke Keiki, o huhu mai ia, O make hoi oukou ia aoao, ke hoa iki ia mai kona inaina. Pomaikai wale ka poe a pau i hilinai aku ia ia.
