Mazmur 2
1 Mengapa rusuh bangsa-bangsa, mengapa suku-suku bangsa mereka-reka perkara yang sia-sia?
Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish?
2 Raja-raja dunia bersiap-siap dan para pembesar bermufakat bersama-sama melawan TUHAN dan yang diurapi-Nya:
The kings of the earth have taken their place, and the rulers are fixed in their purpose, against the Lord, and against the king of his selection, saying,
3 "Marilah kita memutuskan belenggu-belenggu mereka dan membuang tali-tali mereka dari pada kita!"
Let their chains be broken, and their cords taken from off us.
4 Dia, yang bersemayam di sorga, tertawa; Tuhan mengolok-olok mereka.
Then he whose seat is in the heavens will be laughing: the Lord will make sport of them.
5 Maka berkatalah Ia kepada mereka dalam murka-Nya dan mengejutkan mereka dalam kehangatan amarah-Nya:
Then will his angry words come to their ears, and by his wrath they will be troubled:
6 "Akulah yang telah melantik raja-Ku di Sion, gunung-Ku yang kudus!"
But I have put my king on my holy hill of Zion.
7 Aku mau menceritakan tentang ketetapan TUHAN; Ia berkata kepadaku: "Anak-Ku engkau! Engkau telah Kuperanakkan pada hari ini.
I will make clear the Lord's decision: he has said to me, You are my son, this day have I given you being.
8 Mintalah kepada-Ku, maka bangsa-bangsa akan Kuberikan kepadamu menjadi milik pusakamu, dan ujung bumi menjadi kepunyaanmu.
Make your request to me, and I will give you the nations for your heritage, and the farthest limits of the earth will be under your hand.
9 Engkau akan meremukkan mereka dengan gada besi, memecahkan mereka seperti tembikar tukang periuk."
They will be ruled by you with a rod of iron; they will be broken like a potter's vessel.
10 Oleh sebab itu, hai raja-raja, bertindaklah bijaksana, terimalah pengajaran, hai para hakim dunia!
So now be wise, you kings: take his teaching, you judges of the earth.
11 Beribadahlah kepada TUHAN dengan takut dan ciumlah kaki-Nya dengan gemetar,
Give worship to the Lord with fear, kissing his feet and giving him honour,
12 supaya Ia jangan murka dan kamu binasa di jalan, sebab mudah sekali murka-Nya menyala. Berbahagialah semua orang yang berlindung pada-Nya!
For fear that he may be angry, causing destruction to come on you, because he is quickly moved to wrath. Happy are all those who put their faith in him.
