Psalmi 2

1 Zašto se bune narodi, zašto puci ludosti snuju?

Wherefore do nations rage, and people meditate a vain thing?

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

The kings of the earth raise themselves up, and rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed:

3 “Skršimo okove njihove i jaram njihov zbacimo!”

“Let us break asunder their bands, and cast away from us their cords.”

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

He who dwelleth in the heavens will laugh: the Lord will hold them in derision.

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

Then will he speak unto them in his anger, and in his displeasure will he terrify them.

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

[Saying, ] Yet have I appointed my king upon Zion my holy mount.

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

I will announce the decree, the Lord hath said unto me, “My son art thou: I have indeed this day begotten thee.

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

Ask it of me, and I will give thee nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the uttermost ends of the earth.

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

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; like a potter's vessel shalt thou dash them in pieces.”

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

And now, O ye kings, be wise: take warning, ye judges of the earth.

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

Serve the Lord 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!

Do homage to the son, lest he be angry, and ye be lost on the way; for his wrath is so speedily kindled. Happy are all they that put their trust in him.
