לְמָה מִתְרַגְשִׁין עַמְמַיָא וְאוּמַיָא מְרַנְנִין סְרִיקוּתָא:
Why are the nations disturbed, and murmuring vanity?
קָיְמִין מַלְכֵי אַרְעָא וְשִׁלְטוֹנַיָא יִתְחַבְּרוּן כַּחֲדָא לְמָרָדָא קֳדָם יְיָ וּלְמִנְצֵי עַל מְשִׁיחֵיהּ:
The kings of the earth arise and the rulers will join together to rebel in the Lord’s presence, and to strive against His Anointed.
נִתְרַע יַת אֱסָרָתֵיהוֹן וְנִטְלוֹק מִנָנָא שַׁלְשְׁלָוָתֵהוֹן:
They say, “Let us break their bonds, and let us throw off their chains from us.”
דְיָתֵיב בִּשְׁמַיָא יִגְחַךְ מֵימְרָא דַייָ יִדְהַךְ לְהוֹן:
The One Who sits in Heaven will laugh; the word of the Lord will mock at them.
הֵידֵין יְמַלֵל לְהוֹן בְּתוּקְפֵיהּ וּבְרוּגְזֵיהּ יְבַהַלְאִנוּן:
Then He will speak to them in His strength, and in His wrath He will frighten them.
וַאֲנָא רַבִּיתִי מַלְכִּי וּמַנִיתֵיהּ עַל טוּר מַקְדְשִׁי:
"And I have anointed My king, and appointed him over My Sanctuary."
אֶשְׁתְּעֵי קְיָמָא דַייָ אֲמַר חֲבִיב כְּבַר לְאַבָּא לִי אַנְתְּ זַכָּאָה כְּאִלוּ יוֹמָא דֵין בְּרֵיתָךְ:
I will tell of the covenant of the Lord. He said: “You are as dear to Me as a son to a father, pure as if this day I had created you.”
בְעֵי מִנִי וְאֶתֵּן נִכְסֵי עַמְמַיָא אַחְסַנְתָּךְ וַאֲחוּדָתָךְ שִׁלְטוֹנֵי סְיָפֵי אַרְעָא:
"Ask Me and I will give the spoils of nations as your inheritance, the rulers of the ends of the earth as your holding."
תְּתַבְּרִנוּן הֵיךְ בְּחוּטְרָא דְפַרְזְלָא הֵיךְ מָאן דִפְחַר תִּתְרְעִנוּן:
"You will shatter them as with a rod of iron, like a potter’s vessel you will break them."
וּכְדֵין מַלְכַיָא אַשְׂכִּלוּ קַבִּילוּ מַרְדוּתָא נְגִידֵי אַרְעָא:
And now, O kings, grow wise; accept discipline, O princes of the earth.
פְּלָחוּ קֳדָם יְיָ בְּדַחֲלָא וְצַלוּ בִּרְתִיתָא:
Worship in the presence of the Lord with fear, and pray with trembling.
קַבִּילוּ אוּלְפָנָא דִלְמָא יִרְגֵיז וּתְהוֹבְדוּן אוּרְחָא מְטוּל דְיֵיחוֹר כִּזְעֵר רוּגְזֵיהּ טוּבֵיהּ לְכָל דְסָבְרִין בְּמֵימְרֵיהּ:
Accept instruction lest He be angry, and you lose your way; for His wrath will tarry a little. Happy all who trust in His Word!
