Mazmur 2
1 Mengapa rusuh bangsa-bangsa, mengapa suku-suku bangsa mereka-reka perkara yang sia-sia?
Why have the Gentiles been seething, and why have the people been pondering nonsense?
2 Raja-raja dunia bersiap-siap dan para pembesar bermufakat bersama-sama melawan TUHAN dan yang diurapi-Nya:
The kings of the earth have stood up, and the leaders have joined together as one, against the Lord and against his Christ:
3 "Marilah kita memutuskan belenggu-belenggu mereka dan membuang tali-tali mereka dari pada kita!"
“Let us shatter their chains and cast their yoke away from us.”
4 Dia, yang bersemayam di sorga, tertawa; Tuhan mengolok-olok mereka.
He who dwells in heaven will ridicule them, and the Lord will mock them.
5 Maka berkatalah Ia kepada mereka dalam murka-Nya dan mengejutkan mereka dalam kehangatan amarah-Nya:
Then will he speak to them in his anger and trouble them with his fury.
6 "Akulah yang telah melantik raja-Ku di Sion, gunung-Ku yang kudus!"
Yet I have been appointed king by him over Zion, his holy mountain, preaching his precepts.
7 Aku mau menceritakan tentang ketetapan TUHAN; Ia berkata kepadaku: "Anak-Ku engkau! Engkau telah Kuperanakkan pada hari ini.
The Lord has said to me: You are my son, this day have I begotten you.
8 Mintalah kepada-Ku, maka bangsa-bangsa akan Kuberikan kepadamu menjadi milik pusakamu, dan ujung bumi menjadi kepunyaanmu.
Ask of me and I will give to you: the Gentiles for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession.
9 Engkau akan meremukkan mereka dengan gada besi, memecahkan mereka seperti tembikar tukang periuk."
You will rule them with an iron rod, and you will shatter them like a potter’s vessel.
10 Oleh sebab itu, hai raja-raja, bertindaklah bijaksana, terimalah pengajaran, hai para hakim dunia!
And now, O kings, understand. Receive instruction, you who judge the earth.
11 Beribadahlah kepada TUHAN dengan takut dan ciumlah kaki-Nya dengan gemetar,
Serve the Lord in fear, and exult in him with trembling.
12 supaya Ia jangan murka dan kamu binasa di jalan, sebab mudah sekali murka-Nya menyala. Berbahagialah semua orang yang berlindung pada-Nya!
Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord might become angry, and you would perish from the way of the just. Though his wrath can flare up in a short time, blessed are all those who trust in him.
