< Psalms 2 >

1 Why? do they plot nations and peoples do they devise? vanity.
【默西亞必勝】萬邦為什麼囂張,眾民為什麼妄想?
2 They take their stand - [the] kings of [the] earth and rulers they seat themselves together on Yahweh and on anointed his.
世上列民群集一堂,諸侯畢至聚首相商,反抗上主,反抗他的受傅者:
3 Let us tear off fetters their and let us throw away from us ropes their.
來!我們掙斷他們的綑綁,我們擺脫他們的繩韁!
4 [the one who] sits In the heavens he laughs [the] Lord he mocks them.
坐於天上者在冷笑,我主對他們在熱嘲。
5 Then he speaks to them in anger his and in fury his he terrifies them.
在震怒中對他們發言,在氣焰中對他們喝道:
6 And I I have installed king my on Zion [the] mountain of holiness my.
我已祝聖我的君王,在熙雍我的聖山上。
7 I will recount concerning [the] decree of Yahweh he said to me [are] son my you I this day I have begotten you.
我要傳報上主的聖旨:上主對我說:你是我的兒子,我今日生了你。
8 Ask from me so let me make nations inheritance your and possession your [the] ends of [the] earth.
你向我請求,我必將萬民賜你作產業,我必將八極賜你作領地。
9 You will break them with a rod of iron like a vessel of a potter you will smash them.
你必以鐵杖將他們粉碎,就如打破陶匠的瓦器。
10 And therefore O kings act prudently let yourselves be instructed O rulers of [the] earth.
眾王!你們現在應當自覺,大地掌權者!你們應受教:
11 Serve Yahweh with fear and rejoice with trembling.
應以敬愛之情事奉上主,戰戰兢兢向祂跪拜叩首;
12 Kiss [the] son lest he should be angry - and you may perish way if it burns like a little anger his how blessed! [are] all [those who] seek refuge in him.
以免祂發怒將你們滅於中途,因為祂的怒火發怒非常快速。凡一切投奔祂的人真是有福。
