Psalms 2
1 Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things?
Mengapa bangsa-bangsa membuat huru-hara dan suku-suku bangsa merencanakan yang sia-sia?
2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord and against his Christ.
Raja-raja dunia bangkit serentak dan para penguasa bermufakat melawan TUHAN dan raja pilihan-Nya.
3 Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us.
Penguasa-penguasa itu berkata, "Mari kita patahkan kekuasaan mereka dan merebut kemerdekaan kita!"
4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them.
Dari takhta-Nya di surga TUHAN tertawa dan mencemoohkan rencana mereka.
5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage.
Lalu mereka dibentak-Nya dengan marah, dan dikejutkan dengan murka-Nya.
6 But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, preaching his commandment.
Kata-Nya, "Di Sion bukit-Ku yang suci telah Kulantik raja pilihan-Ku."
7 The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
Kata raja, "Aku mau memaklumkan apa yang telah ditetapkan TUHAN. Kata-Nya kepadaku, 'Engkau putra-Ku, hari ini Aku menjadi Bapamu.
8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Mintalah, maka semua bangsa Kuberikan kepadamu, dan seluruh bumi Kujadikan milikmu.
9 Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
Mereka akan kaupatahkan dengan tongkat besi dan kaupecahkan seperti periuk tanah.'"
10 And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
Jadi perhatikanlah, hai raja-raja, camkanlah, hai penguasa-penguasa dunia!
11 Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling.
Berbaktilah kepada TUHAN dengan takwa,
12 Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you perish from the just way. When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, blessed are all they that trust in him.
sujudlah di hadapan-Nya dengan gemetar, jangan sampai TUHAN menjadi marah dan kamu dibinasakan seketika, sebab kemarahan-Nya menyala dengan tiba-tiba. Berbahagialah orang yang berlindung pada TUHAN!
