2 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica

2 1Why do the nations conspire,
and the peoples plot in vain?
God's Chosen King. Psalm 2לָמָּה רָגְשׁוּ גֹויִם וּלְאֻמִּים יֶהְגּוּ־רִיק׃
2The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against Yahweh and his anointed, saying,
 יִתְיַצְּבוּ מַלְכֵי־אֶרֶץ וְרֹוזְנִים נֹוסְדוּ־יָחַד עַל־יְהוָה וְעַל־מְשִׁיחֹו׃
3"Let us burst their bonds asunder,
and cast their cords from us."
 נְנַתְּקָה אֶת־מֹוסְרֹותֵימֹו וְנַשְׁלִיכָה מִמֶּנּוּ עֲבֹתֵימֹו׃
4He who sits in the heavens laughs;
Yahweh has them in derision.
 יֹושֵׁב בַּשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׂחָק אֲדֹנָי יִלְעַג־לָמֹו׃
5Then he will speak to them in his wrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
 אָז יְדַבֵּר אֵלֵימֹו בְאַפֹּו וּבַחֲרֹונֹו יְבַהֲלֵמֹו׃
6"I have set my king on Zion,
my holy hill."
 וַאֲנִי נָסַכְתִּי מַלְכִּי עַל־צִיֹּון הַר־קָדְשִׁי׃
7I will tell of the decree of Yahweh: He said to me,
"You are my son, today I have begotten you.
 אֲסַפְּרָה אֶל חֹק יְהוָה אָמַר אֵלַי בְּנִי אַתָּה אֲנִי הַיֹּום יְלִדְתִּיךָ׃
8Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
and the ends of the earth your possession.
 שְׁאַל מִמֶּנִּי וְאֶתְּנָה גֹויִם נַחֲלָתֶךָ וַאֲחֻזָּתְךָ אַפְסֵי־אָרֶץ׃
9You shall break them with a rod of iron,
and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."
 תְּרֹעֵם בְּשֵׁבֶט בַּרְזֶל כִּכְלִי יֹוצֵר תְּנַפְּצֵם׃
10Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
be warned, O rulers of the earth.
 וְעַתָּה מְלָכִים הַשְׂכִּילוּ הִוָּסְרוּ שֹׁפְטֵי אָרֶץ׃
11Serve Yahweh with fear,
with trembling
 עִבְדוּ אֶת־יְהוָה בְּיִרְאָה וְגִילוּ בִּרְעָדָה׃

Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
