Psalms 2

外邦为什么争闹？ 万民为什么谋算虚妄的事？

wài bāng wèi shén me zhēng nào ？ wàn mín wèi shén me móu suàn xū wàng de shì ？

Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?

世上的君王一齐起来， 臣宰一同商议， 要敌挡耶和华并他的受膏者，

shì shàng de jūn wáng yì qí qǐ lái ， chén zǎi yì tóng shāng yì ， yào dí dǎng yē hé huá bìng tā de shòu gāo zhě ，

The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his Anointed, saying,

说：我们要挣开他们的捆绑， 脱去他们的绳索。

shuō ： wǒ men yào zhèng kāi tā men de kǔn bǎng ， tuō qù tā men de shéng suǒ 。

“Let’s break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us.”

那坐在天上的必发笑； 主必嗤笑他们。

nà zuò zài tiān shàng de bì fā xiào ； zhǔ bì chī xiào tā men 。

He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.

那时，他要在怒中责备他们， 在烈怒中惊吓他们，

nà shí ， tā yào zài nù zhōng zé bèi tā men ， zài liè nù zhōng jīng xià tā men ，

Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath:

说：我已经立我的君 在锡安—我的圣山上了。

shuō ： wǒ yǐ jīng lì wǒ de jūn zài xī ān — wǒ de shèng shān shàng le 。

“Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”

受膏者说：我要传圣旨。 耶和华曾对我说：你是我的儿子， 我今日生你。

shòu gāo zhě shuō ： wǒ yào chuán shèng zhǐ 。 yē hé huá céng duì wǒ shuō ： nǐ shì wǒ de ér zi ， wǒ jīn rì shēng nǐ 。

I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, “You are my son. Today I have become your father.

你求我，我就将列国赐你为基业， 将地极赐你为田产。

nǐ qiú wǒ ， wǒ jiù jiāng liè guó cì nǐ wèi jī yè ， jiāng dì jí cì nǐ wèi tián chǎn 。

Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.

你必用铁杖打破他们； 你必将他们如同窑匠的瓦器摔碎。

nǐ bì yòng tiě zhàng dǎ pò tā men ； nǐ bì jiāng tā men rú tóng yáo jiàng de wǎ qì shuāi suì 。

You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

现在，你们君王应当省悟！ 你们世上的审判官该受管教！

xiàn zài ， nǐ men jūn wáng yīng dāng xǐng wù ！ nǐ men shì shàng de shěn pàn guān gāi shòu guǎn jiào ！

Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

当存畏惧事奉耶和华， 又当存战兢而快乐。

dāng cún wèi jù shì fèng yē hé huá ， yòu dāng cún zhàn jīng ér kuài lè 。

Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

当以嘴亲子，恐怕他发怒， 你们便在道中灭亡， 因为他的怒气快要发作。 凡投靠他的，都是有福的。

dāng yǐ zuǐ qīn zǐ ， kǒng pà tā fā nù ， nǐ men biàn zài dào zhōng miè wáng ， yīn wèi tā de nù qì kuài yào fā zuò 。 fán tóu kào tā de ， dōu shì yǒu fú de 。

Give sincere homage to the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish on the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
