Psalms 2

1 Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things?

Zašto se bune narodi, zašto puci ludosti snuju?

2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord and against his Christ.

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

3 Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us.

“Skršimo okove njihove i jaram njihov zbacimo!”

4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them.

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

5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage.

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

6 But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, preaching his commandment.

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

7 The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.

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

8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.

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

9 Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

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

10 And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth.

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

11 Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling.

Služite Jahvi sa strahom, s trepetom se pokorite njemu,

12 Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you perish from the just way. When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, blessed are all they that trust in him.

da se ne razgnjevi te ne propadnete na putu, kad uskoro plane srdžba njegova. Blago svima koji se njemu utječu!
