< תהילים 2 >
לָמָּה רָגְשׁוּ גוֹיִם וּלְאֻמִּים יֶהְגּוּ־רִֽיק׃ | 1 |
Why do the heathen rage, And the nations meditate a vain thing?
יִתְיַצְּבוּ ׀ מַלְכֵי־אֶרֶץ וְרוֹזְנִים נֽוֹסְדוּ־יָחַד עַל־יְהוָה וְעַל־מְשִׁיחֽוֹ׃ | 2 |
Why do the kings of the earth rise up, And the princes combine together, Against Jehovah, and against his anointed king?
נְֽנַתְּקָה אֶת־מֽוֹסְרוֹתֵימוֹ וְנַשְׁלִיכָה מִמֶּנּוּ עֲבֹתֵֽימוֹ׃ | 3 |
“Let us break their bonds asunder; Let us cast away from us their fetters!”
יוֹשֵׁב בַּשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׂחָק אֲדֹנָי יִלְעַג־לָֽמוֹ׃ | 4 |
He that sitteth in heaven will laugh; The Lord will have them in derision.
אָז יְדַבֵּר אֵלֵימוֹ בְאַפּוֹ וּֽבַחֲרוֹנוֹ יְבַהֲלֵֽמוֹ׃ | 5 |
Then shall he speak to them in his wrath, And confound them in his hot displeasure.
וַאֲנִי נָסַכְתִּי מַלְכִּי עַל־צִיּוֹן הַר־קָדְשִֽׁי׃ | 6 |
“I myself have anointed my king, Upon Zion, my holy hill!”
אֲסַפְּרָה אֶֽל חֹק יְֽהוָה אָמַר אֵלַי בְּנִי אַתָּה אֲנִי הַיּוֹם יְלִדְתִּֽיךָ׃ | 7 |
I will declare the decree of Jehovah: He hath said to me, “Thou art my son; This day I have begotten thee.
שְׁאַל מִמֶּנִּי וְאֶתְּנָה גוֹיִם נַחֲלָתֶךָ וַאֲחֻזָּתְךָ אַפְסֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃ | 8 |
Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, And the ends of the earth for thy possession.
תְּרֹעֵם בְּשֵׁבֶט בַּרְזֶל כִּכְלִי יוֹצֵר תְּנַפְּצֵֽם׃ | 9 |
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.”
וְעַתָּה מְלָכִים הַשְׂכִּילוּ הִוָּסְרוּ שֹׁפְטֵי אָֽרֶץ׃ | 10 |
Be wise, therefore, O ye kings! Be admonished, ye rulers of the earth!
עִבְדוּ אֶת־יְהוָה בְּיִרְאָה וְגִילוּ בִּרְעָדָֽה׃ | 11 |
Be subject to Jehovah with awe, And fear with trembling!
נַשְּׁקוּ־בַר פֶּן־יֶאֱנַף ׀ וְתֹאבְדוּ דֶרֶךְ כִּֽי־יִבְעַר כִּמְעַט אַפּוֹ אַשְׁרֵי כָּל־חוֹסֵי בֽוֹ׃ | 12 |
Kiss the son, lest He be angry, and ye perish in your way; For soon shall his wrath be kindled. Happy are all they who seek refuge in him.
