Mazmur 2
1 Mengapa rusuh bangsa-bangsa, mengapa suku-suku bangsa mereka-reka perkara yang sia-sia?
Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things?
2 Raja-raja dunia bersiap-siap dan para pembesar bermufakat bersama-sama melawan TUHAN dan yang diurapi-Nya:
The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord and against his Christ.
3 "Marilah kita memutuskan belenggu-belenggu mereka dan membuang tali-tali mereka dari pada kita!"
Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us.
4 Dia, yang bersemayam di sorga, tertawa; Tuhan mengolok-olok mereka.
He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them.
5 Maka berkatalah Ia kepada mereka dalam murka-Nya dan mengejutkan mereka dalam kehangatan amarah-Nya:
Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage.
6 "Akulah yang telah melantik raja-Ku di Sion, gunung-Ku yang kudus!"
But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, preaching his commandment.
7 Aku mau menceritakan tentang ketetapan TUHAN; Ia berkata kepadaku: "Anak-Ku engkau! Engkau telah Kuperanakkan pada hari ini.
The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
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 thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Engkau akan meremukkan mereka dengan gada besi, memecahkan mereka seperti tembikar tukang periuk."
Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10 Oleh sebab itu, hai raja-raja, bertindaklah bijaksana, terimalah pengajaran, hai para hakim dunia!
And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
11 Beribadahlah kepada TUHAN dengan takut dan ciumlah kaki-Nya dengan gemetar,
Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto 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 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.
