Psalms 2
1 Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish?
¿Para qué están en tumulto las naciones, Y los pueblos maquinan cosas vanas?
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,
Los reyes de la tierra se levantarán, Y gobernantes conspirarán unidos Contra Yavé y contra su Ungido, y dicen:
3 Let their chains be broken, and their cords taken from off us.
¡Rompamos sus ataduras Y quitemos de nosotros sus cuerdas!
4 Then he whose seat is in the heavens will be laughing: the Lord will make sport of them.
El que está sentado en los cielos se reirá. ʼAdonay se burlará de ellos.
5 Then will his angry words come to their ears, and by his wrath they will be troubled:
Luego les hablará en su furor. Los conturbará en su ira.
6 But I have put my king on my holy hill of Zion.
Yo mismo consagré a mi Rey sobre Sion, Mi Montaña Santa.
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 el decreto. Yavé me dijo: Mi Hijo eres Tú, Yo te engendré hoy.
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 los pueblos en posesión, Y como herencia 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.
Los quebrantarás con vara de hierro. Los harás añicos como vasija de alfarero.
10 So now be wise, you kings: take his teaching, you judges of the earth.
Ahora pues, oh reyes, actúen con sabiduría. Acepten amonestación, jueces de la tierra:
11 Give worship to the Lord with fear, kissing his feet and giving him honour,
Sirvan a Yavé con temor Y regocíjense con temblor.
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.
Besen los pies al Hijo No sea que se enoje y perezcan en el camino, Pues de repente arde su ira. Inmensamente felices son los que se refugian en Él.
