< תהילים 2 >
לָמָּה רָגְשׁוּ גוֹיִם וּלְאֻמִּים יֶהְגּוּ־רִֽיק׃ | 1 |
Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot in vain?
יִתְיַצְּבוּ ׀ מַלְכֵי־אֶרֶץ וְרוֹזְנִים נֽוֹסְדוּ־יָחַד עַל־יְהֹוָה וְעַל־מְשִׁיחֽוֹ׃ | 2 |
The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his Anointed:
נְֽנַתְּקָה אֶת־מֽוֹסְרוֹתֵימוֹ וְנַשְׁלִיכָה מִמֶּנּוּ עֲבֹתֵֽימוֹ׃ | 3 |
"Let's tear off their shackles, and throw off their ropes from us."
יוֹשֵׁב בַּשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׂחָק אֲדֹנָי יִלְעַג־לָֽמוֹ׃ | 4 |
The one who sits in the heavens laughs. The LORD scoffs at them.
אָז יְדַבֵּר אֵלֵימוֹ בְאַפּוֹ וּֽבַחֲרוֹנוֹ יְבַהֲלֵֽמוֹ׃ | 5 |
Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath:
וַאֲנִי נָסַכְתִּי מַלְכִּי עַל־צִיּוֹן הַר־קׇדְשִֽׁי׃ | 6 |
"But I myself have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain."
אֲסַפְּרָה אֶֽל ־ חֹק יְֽהֹוָה אָמַר אֵלַי בְּנִי אַתָּה אֲנִי הַיּוֹם יְלִדְתִּֽיךָ׃ | 7 |
I will tell of the decree. The LORD said to me, "You are my son. Today I have become your father.
שְׁאַל מִמֶּנִּי וְאֶתְּנָה גוֹיִם נַחֲלָתֶךָ וַאֲחֻזָּתְךָ אַפְסֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃ | 8 |
Ask of me, and I will give the nations as your inheritance, and the farthest parts of the earth for your possession.
תְּרֹעֵם בְּשֵׁבֶט בַּרְזֶל כִּכְלִי יוֹצֵר תְּנַפְּצֵֽם׃ | 9 |
You shall rule them with an iron scepter. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."
וְעַתָּה מְלָכִים הַשְׂכִּילוּ הִוָּסְרוּ שֹׁפְטֵי אָֽרֶץ׃ | 10 |
Now therefore, you kings, be wise; receive correction, you judges of the earth.
עִבְדוּ אֶת־יְהֹוָה בְּיִרְאָה וְגִילוּ בִּרְעָדָֽה׃ | 11 |
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
נַשְּׁקוּ־בַר פֶּן־יֶאֱנַף ׀ וְתֹאבְדוּ דֶרֶךְ כִּֽי־יִבְעַר כִּמְעַט אַפּוֹ אַשְׁרֵי כׇּל־חוֹסֵי בֽוֹ׃ | 12 |
Do homage in purity, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, when his anger is suddenly kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
