< Salmos 2 >

1 Porque se amotinam as gentes, e os povos imaginam a vaidade?
Wherefore did the heathen rage, and the nations imagine vain things?
2 Os reis da terra se levantam, e os principes consultam juntamente contra o Senhor e contra o seu ungido, dizendo:
The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers gathered themselves together, against the Lord, and against his Christ;
3 Rompamos as suas ataduras, e sacudamos de nós as suas cordas.
[saying], Let us break through their bonds, and cast away their yoke from us.
4 Aquelle que habita nos céus se rirá: o Senhor zombará d'elles.
He that dwells in the heavens shall laugh them to scorn, and the Lord shall mock them.
5 Então lhes fallará na sua ira, e no seu furor os turbará.
Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his fury.
6 Eu porém ungi o meu Rei sobre o meu sancto monte de Sião.
But I have been made king by him on Sion his holy mountain,
7 Recitarei o decreto: o Senhor me disse: Tu és meu Filho, eu hoje te gerei.
declaring the ordinance of the Lord: the Lord said to me, Thou art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee.
8 Pede-me, e eu te darei as nações por herança, e os fins da terra por tua possessão.
Ask of me, and I will give thee the heathen [for] thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth [for] thy possession.
9 Tu os esmigalharás com uma vara de ferro; tu os despedaçarás como a um vaso de oleiro.
Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces as a potter's vessel.
10 Agora pois, ó reis, sêde prudentes; deixae-vos instruir, juizes da terra.
Now therefore understand, ye kings: be instructed, all ye that judge the earth.
11 Servi ao Senhor com temor, e alegrae-vos com tremor.
Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice in him with trembling.
12 Beijae ao Filho, para que se não ire, e pereçaes no caminho, quando em breve se accender a sua ira: bemaventurados todos aquelles que n'elle confiam.
Accept correction, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and ye should perish from the righteous way: whensoever his wrath shall be suddenly kindled, blessed are all they that trust in him.
