Psalmi 2

1 Zašto se bune narodi, zašto puci ludosti snuju?

Why this turmoil of nations, this futile plotting of peoples,

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

with kings of the earth conspiring, and rulers consulting together, against the Lord and against his anointed,

3 “Skršimo okove njihove i jaram njihov zbacimo!”

to snap their bonds and fling their cords away?

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

He whose throne is in heaven laughs, the Lord mocks them.

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

Then he speaks to them in his wrath, and in his hot anger confounds them.

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

“This my king is installed by me, on Zion my holy mountain.”

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

I will tell of the Lord’s decree. He said to me: “You are my son, this day I became your father.

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

Only ask, and I make you the heir of the nations, and lord of the world to its utmost bounds.

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

You will break them with sceptre of iron, shatter them like pottery.”

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

So now, you kings, be wise: be warned, you rulers of earth.

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

Serve the Lord in awe, kiss his feet with trembling,

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

lest, angry, he hurl you to ruin; for soon will his fury blaze. Happy all who take refuge in him.
