< Salmos 2 >
1 Por qué se enfurecen las naciones, ¿y los pueblos traman una cosa vana?
Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish?
2 Los reyes de la tierra toman posición, y los gobernantes se aconsejan entre sí, contra Yahvé y contra su Ungido, diciendo,
The kings of the earth have taken their place, and the rulers are fixed in their purpose, against the Lord, and against the king of his selection, saying,
3 “Rompamos sus vínculos, y arrojar sus cuerdas de nosotros”.
Let their chains be broken, and their cords taken from off us.
4 El que está sentado en los cielos se reirá. El Señor se burlará de ellos.
Then he whose seat is in the heavens will be laughing: the Lord will make sport of them.
5 Entonces les hablará en su ira, y aterrorizarlos en su ira:
Then will his angry words come to their ears, and by his wrath they will be troubled:
6 “Pero he puesto a mi Rey en mi santo monte de Sión”.
But I have put my king on my holy hill of Zion.
7 Voy a contar el decreto: Yahvé me dijo: “Tú eres mi hijo. Hoy me he convertido en tu padre.
I will make clear the Lord's decision: he has said to me, You are my son, this day have I given you being.
8 Pídeme y te daré las naciones como herencia, los confines de la tierra para su posesión.
Make your request to me, and I will give you the nations for your heritage, and the farthest limits of the earth will be under your hand.
9 Los romperás con una vara de hierro. Los harás pedazos como una vasija de alfarero”.
They will be ruled by you with a rod of iron; they will be broken like a potter's vessel.
10 Ahora, pues, sed sabios, reyes. Instrúyanse, jueces de la tierra.
So now be wise, you kings: take his teaching, you judges of the earth.
11 Sirve a Yahvé con temor, y se regocija con el temblor.
Give worship to the Lord with fear, kissing his feet and giving him honour,
12 Dad un homenaje sincero al Hijo, no sea que se enfade y perezcáis en el camino, porque su ira pronto se encenderá. Dichosos los que se refugian en él.
For fear that he may be angry, causing destruction to come on you, because he is quickly moved to wrath. Happy are all those who put their faith in him.
