시편 2
1 어찌하여 열방이 분노하며 민족들이 허사를 경영하는고
(Why do the [leaders of] nations rage [against God]?/It is foolish for the nations to be angry [with God]) [RHQ]. (Why do people plan to rebel [against God] even though it is in vain?/It is useless for people to plan to rebel [against God]) [RHQ]!
2 세상의 군왕들이 나서며 관원들이 서로 꾀하여 여호와와 그 기름 받은 자를 대적하며
The kings of the nations prepare to revolt; the rulers plot together [to fight] against Yahweh and against his chosen king.
3 우리가 그 맨 것을 끊고 그 결박을 벗어 버리자 하도다
They shout, “We should free ourselves from their control [MET]; we should not let them rule over us any longer!”
4 하늘에 계신 자가 웃으심이여 주께서 저희를 비웃으시리로다
But Yahweh, the one who sits [on his throne] in heaven, laughs [at them]; he ridicules those rulers.
5 그 때에 분을 발하며 진노하사 저희를 놀래어 이르시기를
Then, because he is angry with them, he rebukes them. He causes them to be terrified when [they realize] that he will furiously punish them.
6 내가 나의 왕을 내 거룩한 산 시온에 세웠다 하시리로다
[Yahweh says], “I have installed my king on Zion, my sacred hill [in Jerusalem].”
7 내가 영을 전하노라 여호와께서 내게 이르시되 너는 내 아들이라 오늘날 내가 너를 낳았도다
[And his king says], “I will proclaim what Yahweh has decreed. He said to me, ‘[It is as though] you are my son; today I have declared to everyone that [it is as though] [MET] I am your father.
8 내게 구하라 내가 열방을 유업으로 주리니 네 소유가 땅 끝까지 이르리로다
Ask me to give you the nations, so that they belong to you [to rule over them permanently], and I will give them to you. [Even] the most remote nations will be yours.
9 네가 철장으로 저희를 깨뜨림이여 질그릇 같이 부수리라 하시도다
You will defeat them completely [MET]; you will [destroy them like people] smash a clay pot with an iron rod [SIM].’”
10 그런즉 군왕들아 너희는 지혜를 얻으며 세상의 관원들아 교훈을 받을지어다
So then, you kings and other rulers on the earth, act wisely! [Heed what Yahweh is] warning you!
11 여호와를 경외함으로 섬기고 떨며 즐거워할지어다
Serve Yahweh, fervently revering him; Rejoice [about what he has done for you], but tremble before him!
12 그 아들에게 입맞추라 그렇지 아니하면 진노하심으로 너희가 길에서 망하리니 그 진노가 급하심이라 여호와를 의지하는 자는 다 복이 있도다
Bow down humbly before his son! If you do not do that, Yahweh will be angry, and he will suddenly get rid of you. Do not forget that he can very quickly show that he is very angry! But he is very pleased with all those who request him to protect them [MET].
