< Psalms 2 >
1 Why? do they plot nations and peoples do they devise? vanity.
外邦為甚麼爭鬧? 萬民為甚麼謀算虛妄的事?
2 They take their stand - [the] kings of [the] earth and rulers they seat themselves together on Yahweh and on anointed his.
世上的君王一齊起來, 臣宰一同商議, 要敵擋耶和華並他的受膏者,
3 Let us tear off fetters their and let us throw away from us ropes their.
說:我們要掙開他們的捆綁, 脫去他們的繩索。
4 [the one who] sits In the heavens he laughs [the] Lord he mocks them.
那坐在天上的必發笑; 主必嗤笑他們。
5 Then he speaks to them in anger his and in fury his he terrifies them.
那時,他要在怒中責備他們, 在烈怒中驚嚇他們,
6 And I I have installed king my on Zion [the] mountain of holiness my.
說:我已經立我的君 在錫安-我的聖山上了。
7 I will recount concerning [the] decree of Yahweh he said to me [are] son my you I this day I have begotten you.
受膏者說:我要傳聖旨。 耶和華曾對我說:你是我的兒子, 我今日生你。
8 Ask from me so let me make nations inheritance your and possession your [the] ends of [the] earth.
你求我,我就將列國賜你為基業, 將地極賜你為田產。
9 You will break them with a rod of iron like a vessel of a potter you will smash them.
你必用鐵杖打破他們; 你必將他們如同窯匠的瓦器摔碎。
10 And therefore O kings act prudently let yourselves be instructed O rulers of [the] earth.
現在,你們君王應當省悟! 你們世上的審判官該受管教!
11 Serve Yahweh with fear and rejoice with trembling.
當存畏懼事奉耶和華, 又當存戰兢而快樂。
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.
當以嘴親子,恐怕他發怒, 你們便在道中滅亡, 因為他的怒氣快要發作。 凡投靠他的,都是有福的。
