Psalms 2
1 Why have the Gentiles been seething, and why have the people been pondering nonsense?
¿Por qué se amotinan las gentes, y las naciones traman vanos proyectos?
2 The kings of the earth have stood up, and the leaders have joined together as one, against the Lord and against his Christ:
Se han levantado los reyes de la tierra, y a una se confabulan los príncipes contra Yahvé y contra su Ungido.
3 “Let us shatter their chains and cast their yoke away from us.”
“Rompamos (dicen) sus coyundas, y arrojemos lejos de nosotros sus ataduras.”
4 He who dwells in heaven will ridicule them, and the Lord will mock them.
El que habita en los cielos ríe, el Señor se burla de ellos.
5 Then will he speak to them in his anger and trouble them with his fury.
A su tiempo les hablará en su ira, y en su indignación los aterrará:
6 Yet I have been appointed king by him over Zion, his holy mountain, preaching his precepts.
“Pues bien, soy Yo quien he constituido a mi Rey sobre Sión, mi santo monte.”
7 The Lord has said to me: You are my son, this day have I begotten you.
¡Yo promulgaré ese decreto de Yahvé! Él me ha dicho: “Tú eres mi Hijo, Yo mismo te he engendrado en este día.
8 Ask of me and I will give to you: the Gentiles for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession.
Pídeme y te daré en herencia las naciones, y en posesión tuya los confines de la tierra,
9 You will rule them with an iron rod, and you will shatter them like a potter’s vessel.
Con cetro de hierro los gobernarás, los harás pedazos como a un vaso de alfarero.”
10 And now, O kings, understand. Receive instruction, you who judge the earth.
Ahora, pues, oh reyes, comprended, instruíos, vosotros que gobernáis la tierra.
11 Serve the Lord in fear, and exult in him with trembling.
Sed siervos de Yahvé con temor y alabadle, temblando, besad sus pies,
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.
antes que se irrite y vosotros erréis el camino, pues su ira se encenderá pronto. ¡Dichoso quien haya hecho de Él su refugio!
