Psalms 2
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
Mengapa bangsa-bangsa membuat huru-hara dan suku-suku bangsa merencanakan 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 bangkit serentak dan para penguasa bermufakat melawan TUHAN dan raja pilihan-Nya.
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
Penguasa-penguasa itu berkata, "Mari kita patahkan kekuasaan mereka dan merebut kemerdekaan kita!"
4 He that sits in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.
Dari takhta-Nya di surga TUHAN tertawa dan mencemoohkan rencana mereka.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Lalu mereka dibentak-Nya dengan marah, dan dikejutkan dengan murka-Nya.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
Kata-Nya, "Di Sion bukit-Ku yang suci telah Kulantik raja pilihan-Ku."
7 I will declare the decree: the LORD has said unto me, You are my Son; this day have I begotten you.
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 shall give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
Mintalah, maka semua bangsa Kuberikan kepadamu, dan seluruh bumi Kujadikan milikmu.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
Mereka akan kaupatahkan dengan tongkat besi dan kaupecahkan seperti periuk tanah.'"
10 Be wise now therefore, O all of you kings: be instructed, all of you judges of the earth.
Jadi perhatikanlah, hai raja-raja, camkanlah, hai penguasa-penguasa dunia!
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Berbaktilah kepada TUHAN dengan takwa,
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and all of you perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their 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!
