< 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]!
Nedir uluslar arasındaki bu kargaşa, Neden boş düzenler kurar bu halklar?
2 The kings of the nations prepare to revolt; the rulers plot together [to fight] against Yahweh and against his chosen king.
Dünyanın kralları saf bağlıyor, Hükümdarlar birleşiyor RAB'be ve meshettiği krala karşı.
3 They shout, “We should free ourselves from their control [MET]; we should not let them rule over us any longer!”
“Koparalım onların kayışlarını” diyorlar, “Atalım üzerimizden bağlarını.”
4 But Yahweh, the one who sits [on his throne] in heaven, laughs [at them]; he ridicules those rulers.
Göklerde oturan Rab gülüyor, Onlarla eğleniyor.
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.
Sonra öfkeyle uyarıyor onları, Gazabıyla dehşete düşürüyor
6 [Yahweh says], “I have installed my king on Zion, my sacred hill [in Jerusalem].”
Ve, “Ben kralımı Kutsal dağım Siyon'a oturttum” diyor.
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.
RAB'bin bildirisini ilan edeceğim: Bana, “Sen benim oğlumsun” dedi, “Bugün ben sana baba oldum.
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.
Dile benden, miras olarak sana ulusları, Mülk olarak yeryüzünün dört bucağını vereyim.
9 You will defeat them completely [MET]; you will [destroy them like people] smash a clay pot with an iron rod [SIM].’”
Demir çomakla kıracaksın onları, Çömlek gibi parçalayacaksın.”
10 So then, you kings and other rulers on the earth, act wisely! [Heed what Yahweh is] warning you!
Ey krallar, akıllı olun! Ey dünya önderleri, ders alın!
11 Serve Yahweh, fervently revering him; Rejoice [about what he has done for you], but tremble before him!
RAB'be korkuyla hizmet edin, Titreyerek sevinin.
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].
Oğulu öpün ki öfkelenmesin, Yoksa izlediğiniz yolda mahvolursunuz. Çünkü öfkesi bir anda alevleniverir. Ne mutlu O'na sığınanlara!
