Psalmi 2

1 Zašto se bune narodi, zašto puci ludosti snuju?

Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish?

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

The kings of the earth have taken their place, and the rulers are fixed in their purpose, against the Lord, and against the king of his selection, saying,

3 “Skršimo okove njihove i jaram njihov zbacimo!”

Let their chains be broken, and their cords taken from off us.

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

Then he whose seat is in the heavens will be laughing: the Lord will make sport of them.

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

Then will his angry words come to their ears, and by his wrath they will be troubled:

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

But I have put my king on my holy hill of Zion.

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

I will make clear the Lord's decision: he has said to me, You are my son, this day have I given you being.

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

Make your request to me, and I will give you the nations for your heritage, and the farthest limits of the earth will be under your hand.

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

They will be ruled by you with a rod of iron; they will be broken like a potter's vessel.

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

So now be wise, you kings: take his teaching, you judges of the earth.

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

Give worship to the Lord with fear, kissing his feet and giving him honour,

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

For fear that he may be angry, causing destruction to come on you, because he is quickly moved to wrath. Happy are all those who put their faith in him.
