Psalms 2

1 Why have the Gentiles been seething, and why have the people been pondering nonsense?

Mengapa rusuh bangsa-bangsa, mengapa suku-suku bangsa mereka-reka perkara yang sia-sia?

2 The kings of the earth have stood up, and the leaders have joined together as one, against the Lord and against his Christ:

Raja-raja dunia bersiap-siap dan para pembesar bermufakat bersama-sama melawan TUHAN dan yang diurapi-Nya:

3 “Let us shatter their chains and cast their yoke away from us.”

"Marilah kita memutuskan belenggu-belenggu mereka dan membuang tali-tali mereka dari pada kita!"

4 He who dwells in heaven will ridicule them, and the Lord will mock them.

Dia, yang bersemayam di sorga, tertawa; Tuhan mengolok-olok mereka.

5 Then will he speak to them in his anger and trouble them with his fury.

Maka berkatalah Ia kepada mereka dalam murka-Nya dan mengejutkan mereka dalam kehangatan amarah-Nya:

6 Yet I have been appointed king by him over Zion, his holy mountain, preaching his precepts.

"Akulah yang telah melantik raja-Ku di Sion, gunung-Ku yang kudus!"

7 The Lord has said to me: You are my son, this day have I begotten you.

Aku mau menceritakan tentang ketetapan TUHAN; Ia berkata kepadaku: "Anak-Ku engkau! Engkau telah Kuperanakkan pada hari ini.

8 Ask of me and I will give to you: the Gentiles for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession.

Mintalah kepada-Ku, maka bangsa-bangsa akan Kuberikan kepadamu menjadi milik pusakamu, dan ujung bumi menjadi kepunyaanmu.

9 You will rule them with an iron rod, and you will shatter them like a potter’s vessel.

Engkau akan meremukkan mereka dengan gada besi, memecahkan mereka seperti tembikar tukang periuk."

10 And now, O kings, understand. Receive instruction, you who judge the earth.

Oleh sebab itu, hai raja-raja, bertindaklah bijaksana, terimalah pengajaran, hai para hakim dunia!

11 Serve the Lord in fear, and exult in him with trembling.

Beribadahlah kepada TUHAN dengan takut dan ciumlah kaki-Nya dengan gemetar,

12 Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord might become angry, and you would perish from the way of the just. Though his wrath can flare up in a short time, blessed are all those who trust in him.

supaya Ia jangan murka dan kamu binasa di jalan, sebab mudah sekali murka-Nya menyala. Berbahagialah semua orang yang berlindung pada-Nya!
