Psalmaro 110

1 Psalmo de David. La Eternulo diris al mia sinjoro: Sidu dekstre de Mi, Ĝis Mi faros viajn malamikojn benketo por viaj piedoj.

Yahweh said to my lord [the king], “Sit [here], close to me, in the place of highest honor [MTY] until I [completely defeat] your enemies [MET] [and] make [them like] a stool for your feet!”

2 La sceptron de via potenco la Eternulo sendos el Cion: Regu inter viaj malamikoj.

Yahweh [also said to him], “I will extend your power as king from Jerusalem [to other lands]; you will rule over all your enemies.

3 En la tago de via potenco via popolo volonte sin donas al vi en sankta ornamo. De la komenco de matenruĝo aliĝas al vi la roso de via junularo.

On the day that you lead your armies into battle, many of your people will volunteer [to join your army]. Like the dew refreshes the earth early in the morning, young men will [encourage you by] coming to help you.”

4 La Eternulo ĵuris, kaj ne pentos; Vi estas pastro por ĉiam, Laŭ la maniero de Melkicedek.

Yahweh has made a solemn promise, and he will never change his mind; he has said to the king, “You will be a priest forever [serving Yahweh] like Melchizedek did.”

5 La Sinjoro ĉe via dekstra flanko Frapas reĝojn en la tago de Sia kolero.

Yahweh stands [in the place of highest honor] your right side; when he becomes angry, he will defeat [many kings].

6 Li juĝos inter la popoloj, inter plene da kadavroj; Li frakasos la ĉefon de granda lando.

He will judge and punish the people of [many] nations; he will fill the land with their corpses. He will crush the heads of other kings all over the earth.

7 Li trinkos el rivero sur la vojo; Tial li levos la kapon.

But my lord the king will drink from streams near the road; he will be refreshed after defeating his enemies.
