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]!
Bakit ang mga bansa ay nangagugulo, at ang mga bayan ay nangagaakala ng walang kabuluhang bagay?
2 The kings of the nations prepare to revolt; the rulers plot together [to fight] against Yahweh and against his chosen king.
Ang mga hari sa lupa ay nagsisihanda, at ang mga pinuno ay nagsasanggunian, Laban sa Panginoon at laban sa kaniyang pinahiran ng langis, na sinasabi:
3 They shout, “We should free ourselves from their control [MET]; we should not let them rule over us any longer!”
Lagutin natin ang kanilang tali, at ating iwaksi ang kanilang mga panali sa atin.
4 But Yahweh, the one who sits [on his throne] in heaven, laughs [at them]; he ridicules those rulers.
Siyang nauupo sa kalangitan ay tatawa: ilalagay (sila) ng Panginoon sa kakutyaan.
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.
Kung magkagayo'y magsasalita siya sa kanila sa kaniyang poot, at babagabagin (sila) sa kaniyang malabis na sama ng loob:
6 [Yahweh says], “I have installed my king on Zion, my sacred hill [in Jerusalem].”
Gayon ma'y inilagay ko ang aking hari sa aking banal na bundok ng Sion.
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.
Aking sasaysayin ang tungkol sa pasiya: sinabi ng Panginoon sa akin, Ikaw ay aking anak; sa araw na ito ay ipinanganak kita.
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.
Humingi ka sa akin, at ibibigay ko sa iyo ang mga bansa na iyong pinakamana, at ang mga pinakadulong bahagi ng lupa ay iyong pinakaari.
9 You will defeat them completely [MET]; you will [destroy them like people] smash a clay pot with an iron rod [SIM].’”
Sila'y iyong babaliin ng isang pamalong bakal; iyong dudurugin (sila) na parang isang sisidlan ng magpapalyok.
10 So then, you kings and other rulers on the earth, act wisely! [Heed what Yahweh is] warning you!
Ngayon nga'y magpakapantas kayo, Oh kayong mga hari: mangatuto kayo, kayong mga hukom sa lupa.
11 Serve Yahweh, fervently revering him; Rejoice [about what he has done for you], but tremble before him!
Kayo'y mangaglingkod sa Panginoon na may takot, at mangagalak na may panginginig.
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].
Hagkan ninyo ang anak, baka magalit siya, at kayo'y mangapahamak sa daan, sapagka't ang kaniyang poot ay madaling magalab. Mapapalad ang nanganganlong sa kaniya.
