المَزامِير 2
| لِمَاذَا ضَجَّتِ الأُمَمُ؟ وَلِمَاذَا تَتَآمَرُ الشُّعُوبُ بَاطِلاً | ١ 1 |
Wherefore did the heathen rage, and the nations imagine vain things?
| اجْتَمَعَ مُلُوكُ الأَرْضِ وَرُؤَسَاؤُهَا، وَتَحَالَفُوا لِيُقَاوِمُوا الرَّبَّ وَمَسِيحَهُ، قَائِلِينَ: | ٢ 2 |
The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers gathered themselves together, against the Lord, and against his Christ;
| «لِنُحَطِّمْ عَنَّا قُيُودَهُمَا، وَنَتَحَرَّرْ مِنْ نِيرِ عُبُودِيَّتِهِمَا». | ٣ 3 |
[saying], Let us break through their bonds, and cast away their yoke from us.
| لَكِنَّ الْجَالِسَ عَلَى عَرْشِهِ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ يَضْحَكُ. الرَّبُّ يَسْتَهْزِئُ بِهِمْ. | ٤ 4 |
He that dwells in the heavens shall laugh them to scorn, and the Lord shall mock them.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ يُنْذِرُهُمْ فِي حُمُوِّ غَضَبِهِ، وَيُرَوِّعُهُمْ بِشِدَّةِ سَخَطِهِ، | ٥ 5 |
Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his fury.
| قَائِلاً: «أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ مَسَحْتُ مَلِكِي، وَأَجْلَسْتُهُ عَلَى صِهْيَوْنَ، جَبَلِي الْمُقَدَّسِ». | ٦ 6 |
But I have been made king by him on Sion his holy mountain,
| وَهَا أَنَا أُعْلِنُ مَا قَضَى بِهِ الرَّبُّ: قَالَ لِيَ الرَّبُّ: «أَنْتَ ابْنِي، أَنَا اليَوْمَ وَلَدْتُكَ. | ٧ 7 |
declaring the ordinance of the Lord: the Lord said to me, Thou art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee.
| اطْلُبْ مِنِّي فَأُعْطِيَكَ الأُمَمَ مِيرَاثاً، وَأَقَاصِيَ الأَرْضِ مُلْكاً لَكَ. | ٨ 8 |
Ask of me, and I will give thee the heathen [for] thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth [for] thy possession.
| فَتُكَسِّرَهُمْ بِقَضِيبٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَتُحَطِّمَهُمْ كَآنِيَةِ الْفَخَّارِ». | ٩ 9 |
Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces as a potter's vessel.
| وَالآنَ تَعَقَّلُوا أَيُّهَا الْمُلُوكُ، وَاحْذَرُوا يَا حُكَّامَ الأَرْضِ. | ١٠ 10 |
Now therefore understand, ye kings: be instructed, all ye that judge the earth.
| اعْبُدُوا الرَّبَّ بِخَوْفٍ، وَابْتَهِجُوا بِرِعْدَةٍ. | ١١ 11 |
Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice in him with trembling.
| قَبِّلُوا الابْنَ لِئَلّا يَغْضَبَ، فَتَهْلِكُوا فِي الطَّرِيقِ، لِئَلّا يَتَوَهَّجَ غَضَبُهُ سَرِيعاً. طُوبَى لِجَمِيعِ الْمُتَّكِلِينَ عَلَيْهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Accept correction, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and ye should perish from the righteous way: whensoever his wrath shall be suddenly kindled, blessed are all they that trust in him.
