Psalmi 2

font
VULGATADOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Quare fremuerunt gentes,
et populi meditati sunt inania ?
1 Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things?
2 Astiterunt reges terræ,
et principes convenerunt in unum
adversus Dominum, et adversus christum ejus.
2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord and against his Christ.
3 Dirumpamus vincula eorum,
et projiciamus a nobis jugum ipsorum.
3 Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us.
4 Qui habitat in cælis irridebit eos,
et Dominus subsannabit eos.
4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them.
5 Tunc loquetur ad eos in ira sua,
et in furore suo conturbabit eos.
5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage.
6 Ego autem constitutus sum rex ab eo
super Sion, montem sanctum ejus,
prædicans præceptum ejus.
6 But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, preaching his commandment.
7 Dominus dixit ad me : Filius meus es tu ;
ego hodie genui te.
7 The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
8 Postula a me, et dabo tibi gentes hæreditatem tuam,
et possessionem tuam terminos terræ.
8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Reges eos in virga ferrea,
et tamquam vas figuli confringes eos.
9 Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 Et nunc, reges, intelligite ;
erudimini, qui judicatis terram.
10 And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
11 Servite Domino in timore,
et exsultate ei cum tremore.
11 Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling.
12 Apprehendite disciplinam, nequando irascatur Dominus,
et pereatis de via justa.
12 Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you perish from the just way.
13 Cum exarserit in brevi ira ejus,
beati omnes qui confidunt in eo.		13 When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, blessed are all they that trust in him.
