1 W hy are the nations in an uproar And the peoples devising a vain thing?

لِماذا تَتآمَرُ الأُمَمُ، وَلِماذا تُدَبِّرُ الشُّعُوبُ المَكائِدَ عَبَثاً؟

2 T he kings of the earth take their stand And the rulers take counsel together Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,

أعَدَّ مُلُوكُ الأرْضِ أنفُسَهُمْ لِلمَعرَكَةِ. وَاجتَمَعَ الحُكّامُ مَعاً عَلَى اللهِ وَعَلَى مَسِيحِهِ.

3 “ Let us tear their fetters apart And cast away their cords from us!”

يَقُولُونَ: «لِنَتَخَلَّصْ مِنْ قُيُودِهِمْ، وَلْنُلْقِ بِها بَعِيداً عَنّا!»

4 H e who sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord scoffs at them.

الجالِسُ فِي السَّماءِ يَضحَكُ، اللهُ يَهْزَأُ بِهِمْ.

5 T hen He will speak to them in His anger And terrify them in His fury, saying,

ثُمَّ يَتَحَدَّثُ إلَيْهِمْ فِي غَضَبِهِ، وَبِسَخَطِهِ يُفزِعُهُمْ وَيَقُولُ:

6 “ But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain.”

«قَدْ نَصَّبْتُ مَلِكِي فِي صِهْيَوْنَ – جَبَلِيَ المُقَدَّسِ.»

7 “ I will surely tell of the decree of the Lord: He said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.

دَعُونِي أُخبِرُكُمْ بِما قَضَى بِهِ اللهُ. قالَ لِي: «أنتَ ابْنِي، وَأنا اليَوْمَ وَلَدْتُكَ!

8 ‘ Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, And the very ends of the earth as Your possession.

اطلُبْ، وَسَأجعَلُ جَمِيعَ الشُّعُوبِ مِيراثاً لَكَ، وَأطرافَ الأرْضِ مُلْكاً لَكَ.

9 ‘ You shall break them with a rod of iron, You shall shatter them like earthenware.’”

سَتَحكُمُها بِصَولَجانٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَتُكَسِّرُها كَآنِيَةِ الفَخّارِ.»

10 N ow therefore, O kings, show discernment; Take warning, O judges of the earth.

وَالآنَ، تَعَقَّلُوا أيُّها المُلُوكُ. وَخُذُوا بِنَصِيحَتِي يا قادَةَ الأرْضِ.

11 W orship the Lord with reverence And rejoice with trembling.

اخدِمُوا اللهَ بِخَوْفٍ وَتَوقِيرٍ. ارتَعِدُوا أمامَهُ ارتِعاداً.

12 D o homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!

اخضَعُوا لِلابْنِ لِئَلّا يَغضَبَ، فَتَهلِكُوا! لِأنَّ غَضَبَهُ يُوشِكُ أنْ يَنفَجِرَ. هَنِيئاً لِلمُتَّكِلِينَ عَلَيهِ.
