Psalms 2
1 Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish?
Zakaj besnijo pogani in ljudstvo domišlja prazno stvar?
2 The kings of the earth have taken their place, and the rulers are fixed in their purpose, against the Lord, and against the king of his selection, saying,
Kralji zemlje so se usmerili in vladarji se skupaj posvetujejo zoper Gospoda in zoper njegovega maziljenca, rekoč:
3 Let their chains be broken, and their cords taken from off us.
»Pretrgajmo njihove vezi in odvrzimo njihove vrvi od sebe.«
4 Then he whose seat is in the heavens will be laughing: the Lord will make sport of them.
Tisti, ki sedi v nebesih, se bo smejal. Gospod jih bo imel v posmeh.
5 Then will his angry words come to their ears, and by his wrath they will be troubled:
Potem jim bo govoril v svojem besu in jih nadlegoval v svojem bridkem nezadovoljstvu.
6 But I have put my king on my holy hill of Zion.
»Vendarle sem jaz postavil svojega kralja na svoji sveti gori Sion.«
7 I will make clear the Lord's decision: he has said to me, You are my son, this day have I given you being.
Oznanil bom odlok. Gospod mi je rekel: »Ti si moj Sin. Ta dan sem te rodil.
8 Make your request to me, and I will give you the nations for your heritage, and the farthest limits of the earth will be under your hand.
Zahtevaj od mene in dal ti bom pogane za tvojo dediščino in najbolj oddaljene kraje zemlje za tvojo posest.
9 They will be ruled by you with a rod of iron; they will be broken like a potter's vessel.
Zdrobil jih boš z železno palico, raztreščil jih boš na koščke kakor lončarjevo posodo.«
10 So now be wise, you kings: take his teaching, you judges of the earth.
Zatorej bodite sedaj modri, oh vi kralji. Dajte se poučiti, vi sodniki zemlje.
11 Give worship to the Lord with fear, kissing his feet and giving him honour,
Gospodu služite s strahom in veselite se s trepetanjem.
12 For fear that he may be angry, causing destruction to come on you, because he is quickly moved to wrath. Happy are all those who put their faith 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.
