Psalmi 2

1 Zašto se bune narodi, zašto puci ludosti snuju?

Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?

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

The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his Anointed, saying,

3 “Skršimo okove njihove i jaram njihov zbacimo!”

“Let’s break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us.”

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

He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.

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

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

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

“Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”

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

I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, “You are my son. Today I have become your father.

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

Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.

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

You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

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

Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you 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!

Give sincere homage to the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish on the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
