Psalms 2
1 Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish?
¿Por qué se amotinan las gentes, y las naciones traman vanos proyectos?
2 The kings of the earth have taken their place, and the rulers are fixed in their purpose, against the Lord, and against the king of his selection, saying,
Se han levantado los reyes de la tierra, y a una se confabulan los príncipes contra Yahvé y contra su Ungido.
3 Let their chains be broken, and their cords taken from off us.
“Rompamos (dicen) sus coyundas, y arrojemos lejos de nosotros sus ataduras.”
4 Then he whose seat is in the heavens will be laughing: the Lord will make sport of them.
El que habita en los cielos ríe, el Señor se burla de ellos.
5 Then will his angry words come to their ears, and by his wrath they will be troubled:
A su tiempo les hablará en su ira, y en su indignación los aterrará:
6 But I have put my king on my holy hill of Zion.
“Pues bien, soy Yo quien he constituido a mi Rey sobre Sión, mi santo monte.”
7 I will make clear the Lord's decision: he has said to me, You are my son, this day have I given you being.
¡Yo promulgaré ese decreto de Yahvé! Él me ha dicho: “Tú eres mi Hijo, Yo mismo te he engendrado en este día.
8 Make your request to me, and I will give you the nations for your heritage, and the farthest limits of the earth will be under your hand.
Pídeme y te daré en herencia las naciones, y en posesión tuya los confines de la tierra,
9 They will be ruled by you with a rod of iron; they will be broken like a potter's vessel.
Con cetro de hierro los gobernarás, los harás pedazos como a un vaso de alfarero.”
10 So now be wise, you kings: take his teaching, you judges of the earth.
Ahora, pues, oh reyes, comprended, instruíos, vosotros que gobernáis la tierra.
11 Give worship to the Lord with fear, kissing his feet and giving him honour,
Sed siervos de Yahvé con temor y alabadle, temblando, besad sus pies,
12 For fear that he may be angry, causing destruction to come on you, because he is quickly moved to wrath. Happy are all those who put their faith in him.
antes que se irrite y vosotros erréis el camino, pues su ira se encenderá pronto. ¡Dichoso quien haya hecho de Él su refugio!
