Psalms 2

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

Zakaj hrumé narodi in ljudstva si izmišljajo prazno?

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

Zemlje kralji vstajajo in prvaki se posvetujejo skupaj zoper Gospoda in zoper maziljenca njegovega:

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

Raztrgajmo njih vezí in sè sebe vrzimo njih debele vrvi!

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

Sedeči v nebesih se smeje; zasmehuje jih Gospod.

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

Tedaj jih ogovorí v jezi svoji, in v srdu svojem jih prestraši:

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

Saj sem jaz pomazilil kralja svojega ter postavil čez Sijon, gôro svetosti svoje.

7 “I will proclaim the Lord's decree,” says the king. “He told me, ‘You are my son. Today I have become your father.

Oznanim naj sklep: Gospod mi je rekel: Sin si moj, jaz sem te danes rodil.

8 Ask me, and I will give you the nations as your possessions—the whole earth will belong to you.

Prosi me, in narode ti dam v posest in kraje zemlje v pravico posesti tvoje.

9 You will break them with a rod of iron, smashing them like pottery.’”

Zdrobiš jih s šibo železno; kakor prsteno posodo jih razsuješ.

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

Zdaj torej, kralji, poslušajte; poduk sprejmite, o zemlje sodniki!

11 Serve the Lord in reverence, celebrate with trembling!

V svetem strahu služite Gospodu, in radujte se v trepetu!

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 se ne razsrdi in ne poginete na potu, ako se le kolikaj razvname jeza njegova; blagor vsem, kateri pribegajo do njega.
