Livro dos Salmos 2

Biblia Matos Soares	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Por que se amotinam as nações, e os povos maquinam planos vãos?	1 Why have the Gentiles been seething, and why have the people been pondering nonsense?
2 Os reis da terra sublevam-se e os príncipes coligam-se contra o Senhor e contra o seu Messias:	2 The kings of the earth have stood up, and the leaders have joined together as one, against the Lord and against his Christ:
3 "Quebremos (disseram) as suas cadeias e sacudamos de nós os seus laços!"	3 “Let us shatter their chains and cast their yoke away from us.”
4 Aquele que habita nos céus ri-se, o Senhor zomba deles,	4 He who dwells in heaven will ridicule them, and the Lord will mock them.
5 Ele lhes fala então na sua ira, e os aterroriza no seu furor:	5 Then will he speak to them in his anger and trouble them with his fury.
6 "Eu, porém, constituí o meu rei sobre Sião, meu monte santo!"	6 Yet I have been appointed king by him over Zion, his holy mountain, preaching his precepts.
7 Promulgarei o decreto do Senhor: O Senhor disse-me: "Tu és meu filho, eu hoje te gerei.	7 The Lord has said to me: You are my son, this day have I begotten you.
8 Pede-me, e eu te darei as nações em herança, e em teu domínio os confins da terra.	8 Ask of me and I will give to you: the Gentiles for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession.
9 Tu as governarás com vara de ferro, quebrá-las-ás qual vaso do oleiro."	9 You will rule them with an iron rod, and you will shatter them like a potter’s vessel.
10 E agora, ó reis, atendei; instruí-vos, vós que governais a terra.	10 And now, O kings, understand. Receive instruction, you who judge the earth.
11 Servi ao Senhor com temor, e louvai-o com alegria; com temor	11 Serve the Lord in fear, and exult in him with trembling.
12 prestai-lhe vassalagem, para que não se ire, e não apareçais fora do caminho (da justiça),	12 Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord might become angry, and you would perish from the way of the just.
13 quando daqui a pouco se incendiar a sua indignação: Bem-aventurados todos os que se acolhem a ele.	13 Though his wrath can flare up in a short time, blessed are all those who trust in him.
