Psalmi 2

1 Zašto se bune narodi, zašto puci ludosti snuju?

Why do the nations rage, and the peoples meditate vain things?

2 Ustaju kraljevi zemaljski, knezovi se rotÄe protiv Jahve i Pomazanika njegova:

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against Jehovah, and against his anointed, saying,

3 “Skršimo okove njihove i jaram njihov zbacimo!”

Let us break their bonds apart, and cast away their cords from us.

4 Smije se onaj što na nebu stoluje, Gospod im se podruguje.

He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.

5 Tad im veli u svom gnjevu, žestinom ih on zbunjuje:

Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and vex them in his great displeasure.

6 “TÓa ja kralja svog postavih nad Sionom, svojom svetom gorom.”

Yet I have set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

7 Obznanjujem odluku Jahvinu: Gospodin mi reče: “Ti si sin moj, danas te rodih.

I will tell of the decree. Jehovah said to me, Thou are my Son, this day I have begotten thee.

8 Zatraži samo, i dat ću ti puke u baštinu, i u posjed krajeve zemaljske.

Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, and the outermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

9 Vladat ćeš njima palicom gvozdenÄom i razbit ih kao sud lončarski.”

Thou shall break them with a rod of iron, thou shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

10 Opametite se sada, vi kraljevi, Urazumite se, suci zemaljski.

Now therefore be wise, O ye kings. Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

11 Služite Jahvi sa strahom, s trepetom se pokorite njemu,

Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 da se ne razgnjevi te ne propadnete na putu, kad uskoro plane srdžba njegova. Blago svima koji se njemu utječu!

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
