< Psalms 2 >
1 Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?
Zakaj besnijo pogani in ljudstvo domišlja prazno stvar?
2 The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One:
Kralji zemlje so se usmerili in vladarji se skupaj posvetujejo zoper Gospoda in zoper njegovega maziljenca, rekoč:
3 “Let us break Their chains and cast away Their cords.”
»Pretrgajmo njihove vezi in odvrzimo njihove vrvi od sebe.«
4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them.
Tisti, ki sedi v nebesih, se bo smejal. Gospod jih bo imel v posmeh.
5 Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury:
Potem jim bo govoril v svojem besu in jih nadlegoval v svojem bridkem nezadovoljstvu.
6 “I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.”
»Vendarle sem jaz postavil svojega kralja na svoji sveti gori Sion.«
7 I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.
Oznanil bom odlok. Gospod mi je rekel: »Ti si moj Sin. Ta dan sem te rodil.
8 Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession.
Zahtevaj od mene in dal ti bom pogane za tvojo dediščino in najbolj oddaljene kraje zemlje za tvojo posest.
9 You will break them with an iron scepter; You will shatter them like pottery.”
Zdrobil jih boš z železno palico, raztreščil jih boš na koščke kakor lončarjevo posodo.«
10 Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O judges of the earth.
Zatorej bodite sedaj modri, oh vi kralji. Dajte se poučiti, vi sodniki zemlje.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Gospodu služite s strahom in veselite se s trepetanjem.
12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you perish in your rebellion, when His wrath ignites in an instant. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.
Poljubite Sina, da ne bi bil jezen in ne izginete iz poti, ko je njegov bes le malo razvnet. Blagoslovljeni so vsi, ki svoje upanje položijo vanj.
