Psalms 2

1 Therefore did the heathen rage, and the nations imagine vain things?

Porque se amotinam as gentes, e os povos imaginam a vaidade?

2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers gathered themselves together, against the Lord, and against his Christ;

Os reis da terra se levantam, e os príncipes consultam juntamente contra o Senhor e contra o seu ungido, dizendo:

3 [saying], Let us break through their bonds, and cast away their yoke from us.

Rompamos as suas ataduras, e sacudamos de nós as suas cordas.

4 He that dwells in the heavens shall laugh them to scorn, and the Lord shall mock them.

Aquele que habita nos céus se rirá: o Senhor zombará deles.

5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his fury.

Então lhes falará na sua ira, e no seu furor os turbará.

6 But I have been made king by him on Sion his holy mountain,

Eu porém ungi o meu Rei sobre o meu santo monte de Sião.

7 declaring the ordinance of the Lord: the Lord said to me, You are my Son, today have I begotten you.

Recitarei o decreto: o Senhor me disse: Tu és meu Filho, eu hoje te gerei.

8 Ask of me, and I will give you the heathen [for] your inheritance, and the ends of the earth [for] your possession.

Pede-me, e eu te darei as nações por herança, e os fins da terra por tua possessão.

9 You shall rule them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces as a potter's vessel.

Tu os esmigalharás com uma vara de ferro; tu os despedaçarás como a um vaso de oleiro.

10 Now therefore understand, you kings: be instructed, all you that judge the earth.

Agora pois, ó reis, sede prudentes; deixai-vos instruir, juízes da terra.

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

Servi ao Senhor com temor, e alegrai-vos com tremor.

12 Accept correction, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you should perish from the righteous way: whenever his wrath shall be suddenly kindled, blessed are all they that trust in him.

Beijai ao Filho, para que se não ire, e pereçais no caminho, quando em breve se acender a sua ira: bem-aventurados todos aqueles que nele confiam.
