Mazmur 2

1 Mengapa bangsa-bangsa membuat huru-hara dan suku-suku bangsa merencanakan yang sia-sia?

Therefore did the heathen rage, and the nations imagine vain things?

2 Raja-raja dunia bangkit serentak dan para penguasa bermufakat melawan TUHAN dan raja pilihan-Nya.

The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers gathered themselves together, against the Lord, and against his Christ;

3 Penguasa-penguasa itu berkata, "Mari kita patahkan kekuasaan mereka dan merebut kemerdekaan kita!"

[saying], Let us break through their bonds, and cast away their yoke from us.

4 Dari takhta-Nya di surga TUHAN tertawa dan mencemoohkan rencana mereka.

He that dwells in the heavens shall laugh them to scorn, and the Lord shall mock them.

5 Lalu mereka dibentak-Nya dengan marah, dan dikejutkan dengan murka-Nya.

Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his fury.

6 Kata-Nya, "Di Sion bukit-Ku yang suci telah Kulantik raja pilihan-Ku."

But I have been made king by him on Sion his holy mountain,

7 Kata raja, "Aku mau memaklumkan apa yang telah ditetapkan TUHAN. Kata-Nya kepadaku, 'Engkau putra-Ku, hari ini Aku menjadi Bapamu.

declaring the ordinance of the Lord: the Lord said to me, You are my Son, today have I begotten you.

8 Mintalah, maka semua bangsa Kuberikan kepadamu, dan seluruh bumi Kujadikan milikmu.

Ask of me, and I will give you the heathen [for] your inheritance, and the ends of the earth [for] your possession.

9 Mereka akan kaupatahkan dengan tongkat besi dan kaupecahkan seperti periuk tanah.'"

You shall rule them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces as a potter's vessel.

10 Jadi perhatikanlah, hai raja-raja, camkanlah, hai penguasa-penguasa dunia!

Now therefore understand, you kings: be instructed, all you that judge the earth.

11 Berbaktilah kepada TUHAN dengan takwa,

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

12 sujudlah di hadapan-Nya dengan gemetar, jangan sampai TUHAN menjadi marah dan kamu dibinasakan seketika, sebab kemarahan-Nya menyala dengan tiba-tiba. Berbahagialah orang yang berlindung pada TUHAN!

Accept correction, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you should perish from the righteous way: whenever his wrath shall be suddenly kindled, blessed are all they that trust in him.
