诗篇 2
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
神膏立的君王必审判列国
2 列国为甚么骚动？
万民为甚么空谋妄想？
2 世上的君王起来，
首领聚在一起，
敌对耶和华和他所膏立的，说：
3 “我们来挣断他们给我们的束缚，
摆脱他们的绳索！”
4 那坐在天上的必发笑，
主必讥笑他们。
5 那时，他必在烈怒中对他们讲话，
在震怒中使他们惊慌，说：
6 “我已经在锡安我的圣山上，
立了我的君王。”
7 受膏者说：“我要宣告耶和华的谕旨：
耶和华对我说：‘你是我的儿子，
我今日生了你。
8 你求我，我就把列国赐给你作产业，
把全地都归属于你。
9 你必用铁杖击打他们，
好象打碎陶器一样粉碎他们。’”
10 现在，君王啊！你们要谨慎。
地上的审判官啊！你们应当听劝告。
11 你们要以敬畏的态度事奉耶和华，
又应当存战兢的心而欢呼。
12 你们要用嘴亲吻子，
否则他一发怒，你们就在路上灭亡，
因为他的怒气快要发作。
凡是投靠他的，都是有福的。
Psalm 2
The Message
2 1-6 Why the big noise, nations?
Why the mean plots, peoples?
Earth-leaders push for position,
Demagogues and delegates meet for summit talks,
The God-deniers, the Messiah-defiers:
“Let’s get free of God!
Cast loose from Messiah!”
Heaven-throned God breaks out laughing.
At first he’s amused at their presumption;
Then he gets good and angry.
Furiously, he shuts them up:
“Don’t you know there’s a King in Zion? A coronation banquet
Is spread for him on the holy summit.”
7-9 Let me tell you what God said next.
He said, “You’re my son,
And today is your birthday.
What do you want? Name it:
Nations as a present? continents as a prize?
You can command them all to dance for you,
Or throw them out with tomorrow’s trash.”
10-12 So, rebel-kings, use your heads;
Upstart-judges, learn your lesson:
Worship God in adoring embrace,
Celebrate in trembling awe. Kiss Messiah!
Your very lives are in danger, you know;
His anger is about to explode,
But if you make a run for God—you won’t regret it!
