Psalmi 2
1 Kāpēc pagāni trako, un ļaudis domā uz nelietību?
(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 Ķēniņi virs zemes saceļas un valdnieki sadomājās kopā pret To Kungu un pret Viņa svaidīto.
The kings of the nations prepare to revolt; the rulers plot together [to fight] against Yahweh and against his chosen king.
3 Sarausim viņu saites un atmetīsim viņu virves!
They shout, “We should free ourselves from their control [MET]; we should not let them rule over us any longer!”
4 Bet kas debesīs valda, smejas, un Tas Kungs tos tur par nieku.
But Yahweh, the one who sits [on his throne] in heaven, laughs [at them]; he ridicules those rulers.
5 Tad Viņš runās uz tiem Savās dusmās, un ar Savu bardzību Viņš tos iztrūcinās.
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 Bet Es Savu ķēniņu esmu svaidījis pār Ciānu, Savu svēto kalnu.
[Yahweh says], “I have installed my king on Zion, my sacred hill [in Jerusalem].”
7 Es sludināšu likumu: Tas Kungs uz mani sacījis: tu esi Mans Dēls, šodien Es tevi esmu dzemdinājis.
[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 Prasi Man, tad Es tev došu tautas par mantību, un pasaules galus par īpašumu.
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 Tu tos satrieksi ar dzelzs rīksti, kā podnieka trauku tu tos sadauzīsi.
You will defeat them completely [MET]; you will [destroy them like people] smash a clay pot with an iron rod [SIM].’”
10 Nu tad, jūs ķēniņi, paliekat prātīgi, liekaties pamācīties, jūs soģi virs zemes.
So then, you kings and other rulers on the earth, act wisely! [Heed what Yahweh is] warning you!
11 Kalpojiet Tam Kungam ar bijāšanu un priecājaties ar drebēšanu.
Serve Yahweh, fervently revering him; Rejoice [about what he has done for you], but tremble before him!
12 Skūpstāt To Dēlu, lai Viņš nedusmo un jūs bojā neejat uz ceļa, jo drīz Viņa dusmas iedegsies, bet svētīgi visi, kas pie Viņa tveras.
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].
