< Salmos 2 >
1 ¿Por qué se amotinan los gentiles, y los pueblos piensan vanidad?
Wherefore did the heathen rage, and the nations imagine vain things?
2 Estarán los reyes de la tierra, y príncipes consultarán unidos contra el SEÑOR, y contra su ungido, diciendo:
The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers gathered themselves together, against the Lord, and against his Christ;
3 Rompamos sus coyundas, y echemos de nosotros sus cuerdas.
[saying], Let us break through their bonds, and cast away their yoke from us.
4 El que mora en los cielos se reirá; El Señor se burlará de ellos.
He that dwells in the heavens shall laugh them to scorn, and the Lord shall mock them.
5 Entonces hablará a ellos con su furor, y con su ira los conturbará.
Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his fury.
6 Y yo envestí mi rey sobre Sion, el monte de mi santidad.
But I have been made king by him on Sion his holy mountain,
7 Yo recitaré el decreto. El SEÑOR me ha dicho: Mi hijo eres tú; yo te engendré hoy.
declaring the ordinance of the Lord: the Lord said to me, Thou art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee.
8 Pídeme, y te daré por heredad los gentiles, y por posesión tuya los términos de la tierra.
Ask of me, and I will give thee the heathen [for] thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth [for] thy possession.
9 Los quebrantarás con vara de hierro; como vaso de alfarero los desmenuzarás.
Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces as a potter's vessel.
10 Y ahora, reyes, entended; admitid castigo, jueces de la tierra.
Now therefore understand, ye kings: be instructed, all ye that judge the earth.
11 Servid al SEÑOR con temor; y alegraos con temblor.
Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice in him with trembling.
12 Besad al Hijo, para que no se enoje, y perezcáis en el camino, cuando se encendiere de aquí a poco su furor. Bienaventurados todos los que en él confían.
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.
