< Zsoltárok 2 >

1 Miért dühösködnek a pogányok, és gondolnak hiábavalóságot a népek?
(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 A föld királyai felkerekednek és a fejedelmek együtt tanácskoznak az Úr ellen és az ő felkentje ellen:
The kings of the nations prepare to revolt; the rulers plot together [to fight] against Yahweh and against his chosen king.
3 Szaggassuk le az ő bilincseiket, és dobjuk le magunkról köteleiket!
They shout, “We should free ourselves from their control [MET]; we should not let them rule over us any longer!”
4 Az egekben lakozó neveti, az Úr megcsúfolja őket.
But Yahweh, the one who sits [on his throne] in heaven, laughs [at them]; he ridicules those rulers.
5 Majd szól nékik haragjában, és megrettenti őket gerjedelmében:
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 Én kentem ám fel az én királyomat a Sionon, az én szent hegyemen!
[Yahweh says], “I have installed my king on Zion, my sacred hill [in Jerusalem].”
7 Törvényül hirdetem: Az Úr mondá nékem: Én fiam vagy te; én ma nemzettelek téged.
[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 Kérjed tőlem és odaadom néked a pogányokat örökségül, és birtokodul a föld határait.
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 Összetöröd őket vasvesszővel: széjjelzúzod őket, mint cserépedényt.
You will defeat them completely [MET]; you will [destroy them like people] smash a clay pot with an iron rod [SIM].’”
10 Azért, királyok, legyetek eszesek, és okuljatok földnek bírái!
So then, you kings and other rulers on the earth, act wisely! [Heed what Yahweh is] warning you!
11 Szolgáljátok az Urat félelemmel, és örüljetek reszketéssel.
Serve Yahweh, fervently revering him; Rejoice [about what he has done for you], but tremble before him!
12 Csókoljátok a Fiút, hogy meg ne haragudjék és el ne veszszetek az úton, mert hamar felgerjed az ő haragja. Boldogok mindazok, a kik ő benne bíznak!
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].
