Psalms 2
1 Why are the nations in turmoil, and why do the peoples make plots that will fail?
Mengapa bangsa-bangsa membuat huru-hara dan suku-suku bangsa merencanakan yang sia-sia?
2 The kings of the earth take their stand together and the rulers conspire together against Yahweh and against his Messiah, saying,
Raja-raja dunia bangkit serentak dan para penguasa bermufakat melawan TUHAN dan raja pilihan-Nya.
3 “Let us tear off the shackles they put on us and throw off their chains.”
Penguasa-penguasa itu berkata, "Mari kita patahkan kekuasaan mereka dan merebut kemerdekaan kita!"
4 He who sits in the heavens will sneer at them; the Lord mocks them.
Dari takhta-Nya di surga TUHAN tertawa dan mencemoohkan rencana mereka.
5 Then he will speak to them in his anger and terrify them in his rage, saying,
Lalu mereka dibentak-Nya dengan marah, dan dikejutkan dengan murka-Nya.
6 “I myself have anointed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
Kata-Nya, "Di Sion bukit-Ku yang suci telah Kulantik raja pilihan-Ku."
7 I will announce a decree of Yahweh. He said to me, “You are my son! This day I have become your father.
Kata raja, "Aku mau memaklumkan apa yang telah ditetapkan TUHAN. Kata-Nya kepadaku, 'Engkau putra-Ku, hari ini Aku menjadi Bapamu.
8 Ask me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance and the farthermost regions of the earth for your possession.
Mintalah, maka semua bangsa Kuberikan kepadamu, dan seluruh bumi Kujadikan milikmu.
9 You will break them with an iron rod; like a jar of a potter, you will smash them to pieces.”
Mereka akan kaupatahkan dengan tongkat besi dan kaupecahkan seperti periuk tanah.'"
10 So now, you kings, be warned; be corrected, you rulers of the earth.
Jadi perhatikanlah, hai raja-raja, camkanlah, hai penguasa-penguasa dunia!
11 Worship Yahweh in fear and rejoice with trembling.
Berbaktilah kepada TUHAN dengan takwa,
12 Kiss the son or he will be angry with you, and you will die in the way when his anger burns for just a moment. How blessed are all those who seek refuge in him.
sujudlah di hadapan-Nya dengan gemetar, jangan sampai TUHAN menjadi marah dan kamu dibinasakan seketika, sebab kemarahan-Nya menyala dengan tiba-tiba. Berbahagialah orang yang berlindung pada TUHAN!
