Psalms 2
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Why are the nations in an uproar? And why do the peoples mutter in vain?
1ΙΝΑΤΙ ἐφρύαξαν ἔθνη, καὶ λαοὶ ἐμελέτησαν κενά;
2The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against His anointed:
2παρέστησαν οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς, καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες συνήχθησαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ κατὰ τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ κατὰ τοῦ χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ. (διάψαλμα).
3'Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.'
3Διαρρήξωμεν τοὺς δεσμοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ ἀπορρίψωμεν ἀφ᾿ ἡμῶν τὸν ζυγὸν αὐτῶν.
4He that sitteth in heaven laugheth, the Lord hath them in derision.
4ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν οὐρανοῖς ἐκγελάσεται αὐτούς, καὶ ὁ Κύριος ἐκμυκτηριεῖ αὐτούς.
5Then will He speak unto them in His wrath, and affright them in His sore displeasure:
5τότε λαλήσει πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἐν ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν τῷ θυμῷ αὐτοῦ ταράξει αὐτούς.
6'Truly it is I that have established My king upon Zion, My holy mountain.'
6Ἐγὼ δὲ κατεστάθην βασιλεὺς ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ Σιὼν ὄρος τὸ ἅγιον αὐτοῦ
7I will tell of the decree: the LORD said unto me: 'Thou art My son, this day have I begotten thee.
7διαγγέλλων τὸ πρόσταγμα Κυρίου. Κύριος εἶπε πρός με· υἱός μου εἶ σύ, ἐγὼ σήμερον γεγέννηκά σε.
8Ask of Me, and I will give the nations for thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth for thy possession.
8αἴτησαι παρ᾿ ἐμοῦ, καὶ δώσω σοι ἔθνη τὴν κληρονομίαν σου καὶ τὴν κατάσχεσίν σου τὰ πέρατα τῆς γῆς.
9Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.'
9ποιμανεῖς αὐτοὺς ἐν ράβδῳ σιδηρᾷ, ὡς σκεύη κεραμέως συντρίψεις αὐτούς.
10Now therefore, O ye kings, be wise; be admonished, ye judges of the earth.
10καὶ νῦν, βασιλεῖς, σύνετε, παιδεύθητε, πάντες οἱ κρίνοντες τὴν γῆν.
11Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
11δουλεύσατε τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν φόβῳ καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε αὐτῷ ἐν τρόμῳ.
12Do homage in purity, lest He be angry, and ye perish in the way, when suddenly His wrath is kindled. Happy are all they that take refuge in Him.
12δράξασθε παιδείας, μήποτε ὀργισθῇ Κύριος καὶ ἀπολεῖσθε ἐξ ὁδοῦ δικαίας.
