Zsoltárok 2
1 Miért csődültek a népek, és gondolnak hiábavalót a nemzetek,
(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]!
2 összeállanak a föld királyai, és együtt tanakodnak a fejedelmek az Örökkévaló és az ő fölkentje ellen?
The kings of the nations prepare to revolt; the rulers plot together [to fight] against Yahweh and against his chosen king.
3 Szakítsuk szét kötelékeiket, s vessük le magunkról bilincseiket!
They shout, “We should free ourselves from their control [MET]; we should not let them rule over us any longer!”
4 Az égben trónoló nevet, az Úr gúnyolódik rajtuk,
But Yahweh, the one who sits [on his throne] in heaven, laughs [at them]; he ridicules those rulers.
5 akkor beszél hozzájuk haragjában és hevében megrettenti őket:
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.
6 Hisz én iktattam be királyomat Cziónon, az én szent hegyemen. –
[Yahweh says], “I have installed my king on Zion, my sacred hill [in Jerusalem].”
7 Hadd adok hírt törvényről! Az Örökkévaló szólt hozzám: fiam vagy, én ma szülőd lettem.
[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.
8 Kérj tőlem, s majd adok nemzeteket birtokodul s tulajdonodul a földnek végeit;
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.
9 majd megtöröd őket vaspálczával, mint a fazekasedényt szétzúzod őket!
You will defeat them completely [MET]; you will [destroy them like people] smash a clay pot with an iron rod [SIM].’”
10 Most tehát királyok, térjetek észre, okuljatok, földnek birái;
So then, you kings and other rulers on the earth, act wisely! [Heed what Yahweh is] warning you!
11 szolgáljátok az Örökkévalót félelemben és ujjongjatok remegés közt.
Serve Yahweh, fervently revering him; Rejoice [about what he has done for you], but tremble before him!
12 Hódoljatok a fiúnak, nehogy haragudjék s elvesznétek az úton; mert kevés híján felgyúl a haragja. Boldogok mind, kik benne keresnek menedéket!
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].
