Psalms 2

1 Why are the nations plotting rebellion? The peoples devise schemes, but they're pointless.

Zakaj besnijo pogani in ljudstvo domišlja prazno stvar?

2 The kings of the world prepare to attack, and the rulers conspire together against the Lord and his anointed one, saying,

Kralji zemlje so se usmerili in vladarji se skupaj posvetujejo zoper Gospoda in zoper njegovega maziljenca, rekoč:

3 “Let's break the chains and throw away the cords that bind us.”

»Pretrgajmo njihove vezi in odvrzimo njihove vrvi od sebe.«

4 But the one who sits enthroned in heaven laughs. The Lord mocks them.

Tisti, ki sedi v nebesih, se bo smejal. Gospod jih bo imel v posmeh.

5 He will thunder at them, and terrify them in his fury, saying,

Potem jim bo govoril v svojem besu in jih nadlegoval v svojem bridkem nezadovoljstvu.

6 “It is I who placed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”

»Vendarle sem jaz postavil svojega kralja na svoji sveti gori Sion.«

7 “I will proclaim the Lord's decree,” says the king. “He told me, ‘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 give you the nations as your possessions—the whole earth will belong to you.

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 a rod of iron, smashing them like pottery.’”

Zdrobil jih boš z železno palico, raztreščil jih boš na koščke kakor lončarjevo posodo.«

10 So then you kings, be wise! Be warned, you rulers of the world!

Zatorej bodite sedaj modri, oh vi kralji. Dajte se poučiti, vi sodniki zemlje.

11 Serve the Lord in reverence, celebrate with trembling!

Gospodu služite s strahom in veselite se s trepetanjem.

12 Submit to his son so that he will not become angry and you die suddenly. His anger flares up quickly, but how happy are all those who go to him for protection.

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.
