Psalms 2

1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

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

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

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

3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

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

4 He that sits in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.

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

5 Then shall he speak to them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

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

6 Yet have I set my king on my holy hill of Zion.

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

7 I will declare the decree: 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 shall give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the uttermost parts 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 shall break them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

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

10 Be wise now therefore, O you kings: be instructed, you judges of the earth.

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

11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

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

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their 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!
