(A)Lwaki amawanga geegugunga
    n’abantu ne bateganira obwereere okusala enkwe?
(B)Bakabaka ab’ensi bakuŋŋaanye,
    n’abafuzi ne bateeseza wamu
ku Mukama
    ne ku Kristo we, nga bagamba nti,
(C)“Ka tukutule enjegere zaabwe,
    era tweyambulemu ekikoligo kyabwe.”

(D)Naye Katonda oyo atuula mu ggulu,
    abasekerera busekerezi, n’enkwe zaabwe ezitaliimu zimusesa.
(E)N’alyoka abanenya ng’ajjudde obusungu,
    n’abatiisa nnyo ng’aswakidde.
N’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala nateekawo kabaka owange
    ku lusozi lwange Sayuuni olutukuvu.”

(F)Nzija kulangirira ekiragiro kya Mukama:

kubanga yaŋŋamba nti, “Ggwe oli Mwana wange,
    olwa leero nfuuse kitaawo.
(G)Nsaba,
    nange ndikuwa amawanga gonna okuba obusika bwo,
    era n’ensi yonna gy’ekoma okuba amatwale go.
(H)Olibafugisa omuggo ogw’ekyuma,
    era olibabetenta ng’entamu y’omubumbi.”

10 Kale nno mubeere n’amagezi mmwe bakabaka;
    muyige okulabulwa mmwe abafuzi b’ensi.
11 (I)Muweereze Mukama nga mumutya,
    era musanyuke n’okukankana.
12 (J)Mwanirize Omwana, mumusembeze Mukama aleme okubasunguwalira
    n’okubazikiriza nga muli mu kkubo lyammwe;
kubanga obusungu bwe bubuubuuka mangu.
    Kyokka bonna abaddukira gy’ali balina omukisa.

Psalm 2

Why do the nations conspire[a]
    and the peoples plot(A) in vain?
The kings(B) of the earth rise up
    and the rulers band together
    against the Lord and against his anointed,(C) saying,
“Let us break their chains(D)
    and throw off their shackles.”(E)

The One enthroned(F) in heaven laughs;(G)
    the Lord scoffs at them.
He rebukes them in his anger(H)
    and terrifies them in his wrath,(I) saying,
“I have installed my king(J)
    on Zion,(K) my holy mountain.(L)

I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:

He said to me, “You are my son;(M)
    today I have become your father.(N)
Ask me,
    and I will make the nations(O) your inheritance,(P)
    the ends of the earth(Q) your possession.
You will break them with a rod of iron[b];(R)
    you will dash them to pieces(S) like pottery.(T)

10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;(U)
    be warned, you rulers(V) of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear(W)
    and celebrate his rule(X) with trembling.(Y)
12 Kiss his son,(Z) or he will be angry
    and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath(AA) can flare up in a moment.
    Blessed(AB) are all who take refuge(AC) in him.
