Salmos 2

1 Por qué se enfurecen las naciones, ¿y los pueblos traman una cosa vana?

Why have the Gentiles been seething, and why have the people been pondering nonsense?

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 stood up, and the leaders have joined together as one, against the Lord and against his Christ:

3 “Rompamos sus vínculos, y arrojar sus cuerdas de nosotros”.

“Let us shatter their chains and cast their yoke away from us.”

4 El que está sentado en los cielos se reirá. El Señor se burlará de ellos.

He who dwells in heaven will ridicule them, and the Lord will mock them.

5 Entonces les hablará en su ira, y aterrorizarlos en su ira:

Then will he speak to them in his anger and trouble them with his fury.

6 “Pero he puesto a mi Rey en mi santo monte de Sión”.

Yet I have been appointed king by him over Zion, his holy mountain, preaching his precepts.

7 Voy a contar el decreto: Yahvé me dijo: “Tú eres mi hijo. Hoy me he convertido en tu padre.

The Lord has said to me: You are my son, this day have I begotten you.

8 Pídeme y te daré las naciones como herencia, los confines de la tierra para su posesión.

Ask of me and I will give to you: the Gentiles for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession.

9 Los romperás con una vara de hierro. Los harás pedazos como una vasija de alfarero”.

You will rule them with an iron rod, and you will shatter them like a potter’s vessel.

10 Ahora, pues, sed sabios, reyes. Instrúyanse, jueces de la tierra.

And now, O kings, understand. Receive instruction, you who judge the earth.

11 Sirve a Yahvé con temor, y se regocija con el temblor.

Serve the Lord in fear, and exult in him with trembling.

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.

Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord might become angry, and you would perish from the way of the just. Though his wrath can flare up in a short time, blessed are all those who trust in him.
