Псалтирь 2
1 Псалом Давида. Зачем мятутся народы, и племена замышляют тщетное?
(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 Восстают цари земли, и князья совещаются вместе против Господа и против Помазанника Его.
The kings of the nations prepare to revolt; the rulers plot together [to fight] against Yahweh and against his chosen king.
3 “Расторгнем узы их, и свергнем с себя оковы их”.
They shout, “We should free ourselves from their control [MET]; we should not let them rule over us any longer!”
4 Живущий на небесах посмеется, Господь поругается им.
But Yahweh, the one who sits [on his throne] in heaven, laughs [at them]; he ridicules those rulers.
5 Тогда скажет им во гневе Своем и яростью Своею приведет их в смятение:
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 “Я помазал Царя Моего над Сионом, святою горою Моею;
[Yahweh says], “I have installed my king on Zion, my sacred hill [in Jerusalem].”
7 возвещу определение: Господь сказал Мне: Ты Сын Мой; Я ныне родил Тебя;
[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 проси у Меня, и дам народы в наследие Тебе и пределы земли во владение Тебе;
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 Ты поразишь их жезлом железным; сокрушишь их, как сосуд горшечника”.
You will defeat them completely [MET]; you will [destroy them like people] smash a clay pot with an iron rod [SIM].’”
10 Итак вразумитесь, цари; научитесь, судьи земли!
So then, you kings and other rulers on the earth, act wisely! [Heed what Yahweh is] warning you!
11 Служите Господу со страхом и радуйтесь с трепетом.
Serve Yahweh, fervently revering him; Rejoice [about what he has done for you], but tremble before him!
12 Почтите Сына, чтобы Он не прогневался, и чтобы вам не погибнуть в пути вашем, ибо гнев Его возгорится вскоре. Блаженны все, уповающие на Него.
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].
