Psalmi 2

1 Zašto se bune narodi, zašto puci ludosti snuju?

Why are the nations in tumultuous agitation, and [why] do the peoples meditate a vain thing?

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

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the princes plot together, against Jehovah and against his anointed:

3 “Skršimo okove njihove i jaram njihov zbacimo!”

Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us!

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

He that dwelleth in the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall have them in derision.

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

Then will he speak to them in his anger, and in his fierce displeasure will he terrify them:

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

And I have anointed my king upon Zion, the hill of my holiness.

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

I will declare the decree: Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; I this day 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 nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the ends of the earth:

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

Thou shalt break them with a sceptre of iron, as a potter's vessel thou shalt dash them in pieces.

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

And now, O kings, be ye wise, be admonished, 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, though his anger burn but a little. Blessed are all who have their trust in him.
