ΨΑΛΜΟΙ - Salmi - Psalms 2

Septuaginta - Nestle-Aland	New Jerusalem Bible
¹ ινα τι εφρυαξαν εθνη και λαοι εμελετησαν κενα	¹ Why this uproar among the nations, this impotent muttering of the peoples?
² παρεστησαν οι βασιλεις της γης και οι αρχοντες συνηχθησαν επι το αυτο κατα του κυριου και κατα του χριστου αυτου διαψαλμα	² Kings of the earth take up position, princes plot together against Yahweh and his anointed,
³ διαρρηξωμεν τους δεσμους αυτων και απορριψωμεν αφ' ημων τον ζυγον αυτων	³ 'Now let us break their fetters! Now let us throw off their bonds!'
⁴ ο κατοικων εν ουρανοις εκγελασεται αυτους και ο κυριος εκμυκτηριει αυτους	⁴ He who is enthroned in the heavens laughs, Yahweh makes a mockery of them,
⁵ τοτε λαλησει προς αυτους εν οργη αυτου και εν τω θυμω αυτου ταραξει αυτους	⁵ then in his anger rebukes them, in his rage he strikes them with terror.
⁶ εγω δε κατεσταθην βασιλευς υπ' αυτου επι σιων ορος το αγιον αυτου	⁶ 'I myself have anointed my king on Zion my holy mountain.'
⁷ διαγγελλων το προσταγμα κυριου κυριος ειπεν προς με υιος μου ει συ εγω σημερον γεγεννηκα σε	⁷ I wil proclaim the decree of Yahweh: He said to me, 'You are my son, today have I fathered you.
⁸ αιτησαι παρ' εμου και δωσω σοι εθνη την κληρονομιαν σου και την κατασχεσιν σου τα περατα της γης	⁸ Ask of me, and I shal give you the nations as your birthright, the whole wide world as your possession.
⁹ ποιμανεις αυτους εν ραβδω σιδηρα ως σκευος κεραμεως συντριψεις αυτους	⁹ With an iron sceptre you wil break them, shatter them like so many pots.'
¹⁰ και νυν βασιλεις συνετε παιδευθητε παντες οι κρινοντες την γην	¹⁰ So now, you kings, come to your senses, you earthly rulers, learn your lesson!
¹¹ δουλευσατε τω κυριω εν φοβω και αγαλλιασθε αυτω εν τρομω	¹¹ In fear be submissive to Yahweh;
¹² δραξασθε παιδειας μηποτε οργισθη κυριος και απολεισθε εξ οδου δικαιας οταν εκκαυθη εν ταχει ο θυμος αυτου μακαριοι παντες οι πεποιθοτες επ' αυτω	¹² with trembling kiss his feet, lest he be angry and your way come to nothing, for his fury flares up in amoment. How blessed are al who take refuge in him!
