| 1 ἵνα τί ἐφρύαξαν ἔθνη καὶ λαοὶ ἐμελέτησαν κενά 2 παρέστησαν οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες συνήχθησαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ κατὰ τοῦ κυρίου καὶ κατὰ τοῦ χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ διάψαλμα 3 διαρρήξωμεν τοὺς δεσμοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ ἀπορρίψωμεν ἀ{F'} ἡμῶν τὸν ζυγὸν αὐτῶν 4 ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν οὐρανοῖς ἐκγελάσεται αὐτούς καὶ ὁ κύριος ἐκμυκτηριεῖ αὐτούς 5 τότε λαλήσει πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἐν ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν τῷ θυμῷ αὐτοῦ ταράξει αὐτούς 6 ἐγὼ δὲ κατεστάθην βασιλεὺς ὑ{P'} αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ Σιων ὄρος τὸ ἅγιον αὐτοῦ 7 διαγγέλλων τὸ πρόσταγμα κυρίου κύριος εἶπεν πρός με υἱός μου εἶ σύ ἐγὼ σήμερον γεγέννηκά σε 8 αἴτησαι πα{R'} ἐμοῦ καὶ δώσω σοι ἔθνη τὴν κληρονομίαν σου καὶ τὴν κατάσχεσίν σου τὰ πέρατα τῆς γῆς 9 ποιμανεῖς αὐτοὺς ἐν ῥάβδῳ σιδηρᾷ ὡς σκεῦος κεραμέως συντρίψεις αὐτούς 10 καὶ νῦν βασιλεῖς σύνετε παιδεύθητε πάντες οἱ κρίνοντες τὴν γῆν 11 δουλεύσατε τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν φόβῳ καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε αὐτῷ ἐν τρόμῳ 12 δράξασθε παιδείας μήποτε ὀργισθῇ κύριος καὶ ἀπολεῖσθε ἐξ ὁδοῦ δικαίας 13 ὅταν ἐκκαυθῇ ἐν τάχει ὁ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ μακάριοι πάντες οἱ πεποιθότες ἐ{P'} αὐτῷ | 1 What means this turmoil among the nations? Why do the peoples cherish vain dreams? 2 See how the kings of the earth stand in array, how its rulers make common cause, against the Lord, and against the King he has anointed, 3 crying, Let us break away from their bondage, rid ourselves of the toils! 4 He who dwells in heaven is laughing at their threats, the Lord makes light of them; 5 and at last, in his displeasure, he will speak out, his anger quelling them: 6 Here, on mount Sion, my sanctuary, I enthrone a king of my own choice. Mine to proclaim the Lord’s edict; 7 how he told me, Thou art my son; I have begotten thee this day. 8 Ask thy will of me, and thou shalt have the nations for thy patrimony; the very ends of the world for thy domain. 9 Thou shalt herd them like sheep[1] with a crook of iron, break them in pieces like earthenware. 10 Princes, take warning; learn your lesson, you that rule the world. 11 Tremble, and serve the Lord, rejoicing in his presence, but with awe in your hearts. 12 Kiss the rod,[2] do not brave his anger, and go astray from the sure path. 13 When the fire of his vengeance blazes out suddenly, happy are they who find their refuge in him. |
1 Quare fremuerunt gentes, et populi meditati sunt inania? 2 Astiterunt reges terræ, et principes convenerunt in unum adversus Dominum, et adversus christum ejus. 3 Dirumpamus vincula eorum, et projiciamus a nobis jugum ipsorum. 4 Qui habitat in cælis irridebit eos, et Dominus subsannabit eos. 5 Tunc loquetur ad eos in ira sua, et in furore suo conturbabit eos. 6 Ego autem constitutus sum rex ab eo super Sion, montem sanctum ejus, prædicans præceptum ejus. 7 Dominus dixit ad me: Filius meus es tu; ego hodie genui te. 8 Postula a me, et dabo tibi gentes hæreditatem tuam, et possessionem tuam terminos terræ. 9 Reges eos in virga ferrea, et tamquam vas figuli confringes eos. 10 Et nunc, reges, intelligite; erudimini, qui judicatis terram. 11 Servite Domino in timore, et exsultate ei cum tremore. 12 Apprehendite disciplinam, nequando irascatur Dominus, et pereatis de via justa. 13 Cum exarserit in brevi ira ejus, beati omnes qui confidunt in eo. |
[1] ‘Herd them like sheep’; or, according to another reading, ‘shatter them’.
[2] The word given in the Hebrew text should mean either ‘purity’, or ‘the Son’.
