Mazmur 2
1 Mengapa bangsa-bangsa membuat huru-hara dan suku-suku bangsa merencanakan yang sia-sia?
Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things?
2 Raja-raja dunia bangkit serentak dan para penguasa bermufakat melawan TUHAN dan raja pilihan-Nya.
The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord and against his Christ.
3 Penguasa-penguasa itu berkata, "Mari kita patahkan kekuasaan mereka dan merebut kemerdekaan kita!"
Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us.
4 Dari takhta-Nya di surga TUHAN tertawa dan mencemoohkan rencana mereka.
He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them.
5 Lalu mereka dibentak-Nya dengan marah, dan dikejutkan dengan murka-Nya.
Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage.
6 Kata-Nya, "Di Sion bukit-Ku yang suci telah Kulantik raja pilihan-Ku."
But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, preaching his commandment.
7 Kata raja, "Aku mau memaklumkan apa yang telah ditetapkan TUHAN. Kata-Nya kepadaku, 'Engkau putra-Ku, hari ini Aku menjadi Bapamu.
The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
8 Mintalah, maka semua bangsa Kuberikan kepadamu, dan seluruh bumi Kujadikan milikmu.
Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Mereka akan kaupatahkan dengan tongkat besi dan kaupecahkan seperti periuk tanah.'"
Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10 Jadi perhatikanlah, hai raja-raja, camkanlah, hai penguasa-penguasa dunia!
And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
11 Berbaktilah kepada TUHAN dengan takwa,
Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling.
12 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!
Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you perish from the just way. When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, blessed are all they that trust in him.
