Psalms 2
1 (Why do the [leaders of] nations rage [against God]?/It is foolish for the nations to be angry [with God]) [RHQ]. (Why do people plan to rebel [against God] even though it is in vain?/It is useless for people to plan to rebel [against God]) [RHQ]!
| چرا قومها شورش می‌کنند؟ چرا ملتها بی‌جهت توطئه می‌چینند؟ |
2 The kings of the nations prepare to revolt; the rulers plot together [to fight] against Yahweh and against his chosen king.
| پادشاهان جهان صف‌آرایی کرده‌اند و رهبران ممالک با هم مشورت می‌کنند بر ضد خداوند و مسیح او. |
3 They shout, “We should free ourselves from their control [MET]; we should not let them rule over us any longer!”
| آنها می‌گویند: «بیایید زنجیرها را پاره کنیم و خود را از قید اسارت آزاد سازیم!» |
4 But Yahweh, the one who sits [on his throne] in heaven, laughs [at them]; he ridicules those rulers.
| اما خداوند که بر تخت خود در آسمان نشسته، به نقشه‌های آنان می‌خندد. |
5 Then, because he is angry with them, he rebukes them. He causes them to be terrified when [they realize] that he will furiously punish them.
| سپس با خشم و غضب آنان را توبیخ می‌کند و به وحشت می‌اندازد. |
6 [Yahweh says], “I have installed my king on Zion, my sacred hill [in Jerusalem].”
| خداوند می‌فرماید: «من پادشاه خود را در اورشلیم، بر کوه مقدّس خود، بر تخت سلطنت نشانده‌ام!» |
7 [And his king says], “I will proclaim what Yahweh has decreed. He said to me, ‘[It is as though] you are my son; today I have declared to everyone that [it is as though] [MET] I am your father.
| پادشاه می‌گوید: «من فرمان خداوند را اعلام خواهم کرد. او به من فرموده است:”تو پسر من هستی؛ امروز من پدر تو شده‌ام. |
8 Ask me to give you the nations, so that they belong to you [to rule over them permanently], and I will give them to you. [Even] the most remote nations will be yours.
| از من درخواست کن و من همهٔ قومها را به عنوان میراث به تو خواهم بخشید و سراسر دنیا را ملک تو خواهم ساخت. |
9 You will defeat them completely [MET]; you will [destroy them like people] smash a clay pot with an iron rod [SIM].’”
| تو با عصای آهنین بر آنها حکومت خواهی کرد و آنها را مانند ظروف گلی خرد خواهی نمود.“» |
10 So then, you kings and other rulers on the earth, act wisely! [Heed what Yahweh is] warning you!
| بنابراین، ای پادشاهان، گوش دهید و ای رهبران جهان توجه نمایید! |
11 Serve Yahweh, fervently revering him; Rejoice [about what he has done for you], but tremble before him!
| با ترس و احترام خداوند را عبادت کنید؛ |
12 Bow down humbly before his son! If you do not do that, Yahweh will be angry, and he will suddenly get rid of you. Do not forget that he can very quickly show that he is very angry! But he is very pleased with all those who request him to protect them [MET].
| پیش از اینکه پسرش خشمگین شود و شما را نابود کند، به پاهایش بیفتید و آنها را بوسه زنید، زیرا خشم او ممکن است هر لحظه افروخته شود. خوشا به حال همهٔ کسانی که به او پناه می‌برند. |
