Mazmur 2
1 Mengapa bangsa-bangsa membuat huru-hara dan suku-suku bangsa merencanakan yang sia-sia?
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 Raja-raja dunia bangkit serentak dan para penguasa bermufakat melawan TUHAN dan raja pilihan-Nya.
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Penguasa-penguasa itu berkata, "Mari kita patahkan kekuasaan mereka dan merebut kemerdekaan kita!"
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 Dari takhta-Nya di surga TUHAN tertawa dan mencemoohkan rencana mereka.
He that sits in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.
5 Lalu mereka dibentak-Nya dengan marah, dan dikejutkan dengan murka-Nya.
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Kata-Nya, "Di Sion bukit-Ku yang suci telah Kulantik raja pilihan-Ku."
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 Kata raja, "Aku mau memaklumkan apa yang telah ditetapkan TUHAN. Kata-Nya kepadaku, 'Engkau putra-Ku, hari ini Aku menjadi Bapamu.
I will declare the decree: the LORD has said unto me, You are my Son; this day have I begotten you.
8 Mintalah, maka semua bangsa Kuberikan kepadamu, dan seluruh bumi Kujadikan milikmu.
Ask of me, and I shall give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
9 Mereka akan kaupatahkan dengan tongkat besi dan kaupecahkan seperti periuk tanah.'"
You shall break them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 Jadi perhatikanlah, hai raja-raja, camkanlah, hai penguasa-penguasa dunia!
Be wise now therefore, O all of you kings: be instructed, all of you judges of the earth.
11 Berbaktilah kepada TUHAN dengan takwa,
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice 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!
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and all of you perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
