Psalm 2

Neue evangelistische Übersetzung

von Karl-Heinz Vanheiden
1 Was soll das Toben der Völker? / Was soll ihr sinnloser Plan?2 Die Großen der Welt lehnen sich auf, / verschwören sich gegen Jahwe. / Gegen seinen Messias gehen sie an:[1] (Apg 4,25)3 „Los, wir zerreißen die Fessel, / befreien uns von ihrem Strick!“4 Doch der im Himmel thront, lacht, / der Herr lacht sie nur spöttisch aus.5 Dann fährt er sie an in glühendem Zorn / und erschreckt sie durch heftige Wut:6 „Ich habe den König gesalbt und geweiht“, sagt er, / „hier auf dem Zion,[2] meinem heiligen Berg!“7 Nun will ich[3] verkünden Jahwes Beschluss! / Er sagte zu mir: „Du bist mein Sohn! / Ich habe dich heute gezeugt.8 Sprich mich nur an, und ich gebe dir die Völker, / ja die ganze Erde zu deinem Besitz!9 Du wirst sie regieren mit eiserner Faust / und zerschmettern wie Töpfergeschirr.“10 Und nun, ihr Könige, kommt zur Vernunft! / Lasst euch warnen, Richter der Welt!11 Dient Jahwe mit Furcht, / jubelt und zittert vor ihm!12 Küsst den Sohn, sonst wird er zornig / und ihr kommt auf eurem Weg um, / denn leicht entflammt sein Zorn! / Doch glücklich alle, die bei ihm geborgen sind!

Psalm 2

New International Reader’s Version

von Biblica
1 Why do the nations plan evil together? Why do they make useless plans?2 The kings of the earth rise up against the LORD. The rulers of the earth join together against his anointed king.3 ‘Let us break free from their chains,’ they say. ‘Let us throw off their ropes.’4 The God who sits on his throne in heaven laughs. The Lord makes fun of those rulers and their plans.5 When he is angry, he warns them. When his anger blazes out, he terrifies them.6 He says to them, ‘I have placed my king on my holy mountain of Zion.’7 I will announce what the LORD has promised. He said to me, ‘You are my son. Today I have become your father.8 Ask me, and I will give the nations to you. All nations on earth will belong to you.9 You will break them with an iron sceptre. You will smash them to pieces like clay pots.’10 Kings, be wise! Rulers of the earth, be warned!11 Serve the LORD and have respect for him. Celebrate his rule with trembling.12 Obey the son completely, or he will be angry. Your way of life will lead to your death. His anger can blaze out at any moment. Blessed are all those who go to him for safety.

1 Why do the nations rage[1] and the peoples plot in vain? (Ps 46,6; Apg 4,25)2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying, (Ps 18,50; Ps 20,6; Ps 45,7; Ps 89,20)3 “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.” (Jer 5,5)4 He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. (Hi 22,19; Ps 11,4; Ps 29,10; Ps 37,13; Ps 59,8; Spr 1,26; Jes 40,22)5 Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, (Offb 6,16)6 “As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.” (2Sam 5,7; Ps 3,4; Ps 15,1; Ps 43,3; Ps 99,9; Ps 110,2; Spr 8,23)7 I will tell of the decree: The Lord said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you. (Apg 13,33; Röm 1,4; Hebr 1,5; Hebr 5,5)8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. (Ps 72,8; Ps 89,27; Dan 7,14)9 You shall break[2] them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.” (Hi 34,24; Ps 89,23; Jes 30,14; Jer 19,11; Offb 2,27; Offb 12,5; Offb 19,15)10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth.11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. (Phil 2,12; Phil 4,4; Hebr 12,28)12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him. (1Sam 10,1; 1Kön 19,18; Ps 2,5; Ps 34,8; Ps 84,12; Ps 146,5; Spr 16,20; Spr 31,2; Jes 30,18; Jer 17,7; Joh 5,23)
