Psalmi 2
1 Zašto se bune narodi, zašto puci ludosti snuju?
(Why do the [leaders of] nations rage [against God]?/It is foolish for the nations to be angry [with God]) [RHQ]. (Why do people plan to rebel [against God] even though it is in vain?/It is useless for people to plan to rebel [against God]) [RHQ]!
2 Ustaju kraljevi zemaljski, knezovi se rotÄe protiv Jahve i Pomazanika njegova:
The kings of the nations prepare to revolt; the rulers plot together [to fight] against Yahweh and against his chosen king.
3 “Skršimo okove njihove i jaram njihov zbacimo!”
They shout, “We should free ourselves from their control [MET]; we should not let them rule over us any longer!”
4 Smije se onaj što na nebu stoluje, Gospod im se podruguje.
But Yahweh, the one who sits [on his throne] in heaven, laughs [at them]; he ridicules those rulers.
5 Tad im veli u svom gnjevu, žestinom ih on zbunjuje:
Then, because he is angry with them, he rebukes them. He causes them to be terrified when [they realize] that he will furiously punish them.
6 “TÓa ja kralja svog postavih nad Sionom, svojom svetom gorom.”
[Yahweh says], “I have installed my king on Zion, my sacred hill [in Jerusalem].”
7 Obznanjujem odluku Jahvinu: Gospodin mi reče: “Ti si sin moj, danas te rodih.
[And his king says], “I will proclaim what Yahweh has decreed. He said to me, ‘[It is as though] you are my son; today I have declared to everyone that [it is as though] [MET] I am your father.
8 Zatraži samo, i dat ću ti puke u baštinu, i u posjed krajeve zemaljske.
Ask me to give you the nations, so that they belong to you [to rule over them permanently], and I will give them to you. [Even] the most remote nations will be yours.
9 Vladat ćeš njima palicom gvozdenÄom i razbit ih kao sud lončarski.”
You will defeat them completely [MET]; you will [destroy them like people] smash a clay pot with an iron rod [SIM].’”
10 Opametite se sada, vi kraljevi, Urazumite se, suci zemaljski.
So then, you kings and other rulers on the earth, act wisely! [Heed what Yahweh is] warning you!
11 Služite Jahvi sa strahom, s trepetom se pokorite njemu,
Serve Yahweh, fervently revering him; Rejoice [about what he has done for you], but tremble before him!
12 da se ne razgnjevi te ne propadnete na putu, kad uskoro plane srdžba njegova. Blago svima koji se njemu utječu!
Bow down humbly before his son! If you do not do that, Yahweh will be angry, and he will suddenly get rid of you. Do not forget that he can very quickly show that he is very angry! But he is very pleased with all those who request him to protect them [MET].
