Salmos 2
1 Por qué se enfurecen las naciones, ¿y los pueblos traman una cosa vana?
(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 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 nations prepare to revolt; the rulers plot together [to fight] against Yahweh and against his chosen king.
3 “Rompamos sus vínculos, y arrojar sus cuerdas de nosotros”.
They shout, “We should free ourselves from their control [MET]; we should not let them rule over us any longer!”
4 El que está sentado en los cielos se reirá. El Señor se burlará de ellos.
But Yahweh, the one who sits [on his throne] in heaven, laughs [at them]; he ridicules those rulers.
5 Entonces les hablará en su ira, y aterrorizarlos en su ira:
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 “Pero he puesto a mi Rey en mi santo monte de Sión”.
[Yahweh says], “I have installed my king on Zion, my sacred hill [in Jerusalem].”
7 Voy a contar el decreto: Yahvé me dijo: “Tú eres mi hijo. Hoy me he convertido en tu padre.
[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 Pídeme y te daré las naciones como herencia, los confines de la tierra para su posesión.
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 Los romperás con una vara de hierro. Los harás pedazos como una vasija de alfarero”.
You will defeat them completely [MET]; you will [destroy them like people] smash a clay pot with an iron rod [SIM].’”
10 Ahora, pues, sed sabios, reyes. Instrúyanse, jueces de la tierra.
So then, you kings and other rulers on the earth, act wisely! [Heed what Yahweh is] warning you!
11 Sirve a Yahvé con temor, y se regocija con el temblor.
Serve Yahweh, fervently revering him; Rejoice [about what he has done for you], but tremble before him!
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.
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].
