< Psalms 2 >

1 Why are the nations in tumultuous agitation, and [why] do the peoples meditate a vain thing?
Zašto se bune narodi, zašto puci ludosti snuju?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the princes plot together, against Jehovah and against his anointed:
Ustaju kraljevi zemaljski, knezovi se rotÄe protiv Jahve i Pomazanika njegova:
3 Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us!
“Skršimo okove njihove i jaram njihov zbacimo!”
4 He that dwelleth in the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall have them in derision.
Smije se onaj što na nebu stoluje, Gospod im se podruguje.
5 Then will he speak to them in his anger, and in his fierce displeasure will he terrify them:
Tad im veli u svom gnjevu, žestinom ih on zbunjuje:
6 And I have anointed my king upon Zion, the hill of my holiness.
“TÓa ja kralja svog postavih nad Sionom, svojom svetom gorom.”
7 I will declare the decree: Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; I this day have begotten thee.
Obznanjujem odluku Jahvinu: Gospodin mi reče: “Ti si sin moj, danas te rodih.
8 Ask of me, and I will give thee nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the ends of the earth:
Zatraži samo, i dat ću ti puke u baštinu, i u posjed krajeve zemaljske.
9 Thou shalt break them with a sceptre of iron, as a potter's vessel thou shalt dash them in pieces.
Vladat ćeš njima palicom gvozdenÄom i razbit ih kao sud lončarski.”
10 And now, O kings, be ye wise, be admonished, ye judges of the earth.
Opametite se sada, vi kraljevi, Urazumite se, suci zemaljski.
11 Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Služite Jahvi sa strahom, s trepetom se pokorite njemu,
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, though his anger burn but a little. Blessed are all who have their trust in him.
da se ne razgnjevi te ne propadnete na putu, kad uskoro plane srdžba njegova. Blago svima koji se njemu utječu!
