詩篇 2

1 【默西亞必勝】萬邦為什麼囂張，眾民為什麼妄想？

Whi gnastiden with teeth hethene men; and puplis thouyten veyn thingis?

2 世上列民群集一堂，諸侯畢至聚首相商，反抗上主，反抗他的受傅者：

The kyngis of erthe stoden togidere; and princes camen togidere ayens the Lord, and ayens his Crist?

3 來！我們掙斷他們的綑綁，我們擺脫他們的繩韁！

Breke we the bondis of hem; and cast we awei the yok of hem fro vs.

4 坐於天上者在冷笑，我主對他們在熱嘲。

He that dwellith in heuenes schal scorne hem; and the Lord schal bimowe hem.

5 在震怒中對他們發言，在氣焰中對他們喝道：

Thanne he schal speke to hem in his ire; and he schal disturble hem in his stronge veniaunce.

6 我已祝聖我的君王，在熙雍我的聖山上。

Forsothe Y am maad of hym a kyng on Syon, his hooli hil; prechynge his comaundement.

7 我要傳報上主的聖旨：上主對我說：你是我的兒子，我今日生了你。

The Lord seide to me, Thou art my sone; Y haue gendrid thee to dai.

8 你向我請求，我必將萬民賜你作產業，我必將八極賜你作領地。

Axe thou of me, and Y schal yyue to thee hethene men thin eritage; and thi possessioun the termes of erthe.

9 你必以鐵杖將他們粉碎，就如打破陶匠的瓦器。

Thou schalt gouerne hem in an yrun yerde; and thou schalt breke hem as the vessel of a pottere.

10 眾王！你們現在應當自覺，大地掌權者！你們應受教：

And now, ye kyngis, vndurstonde; ye that demen the erthe, be lerud.

11 應以敬愛之情事奉上主，戰戰兢兢向祂跪拜叩首；

Serue ye the Lord with drede; and make ye ful ioye to hym with tremblyng.

12 以免祂發怒將你們滅於中途，因為祂的怒火發怒非常快速。凡一切投奔祂的人真是有福。

Take ye lore; lest the Lord be wrooth sumtyme, and lest ye perischen fro iust waie. Whanne his `ire brenneth out in schort tyme; blessed ben alle thei, that tristen in hym.
