Psalms 2

1 Why are the nations in an uproar? And why do the peoples mutter in vain?

Zašto se bune narodi, zašto puci ludosti snuju?

2 The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against His anointed:

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

3 'Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.'

“Skršimo okove njihove i jaram njihov zbacimo!”

4 He that sitteth in heaven laugheth, the Lord hath them in derision.

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

5 Then will He speak unto them in His wrath, and affright them in His sore displeasure:

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

6 'Truly it is I that have established My king upon Zion, My holy mountain.'

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

7 I will tell of the decree: the LORD said unto 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 the nations for thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth for thy possession.

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

9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.'

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

10 Now therefore, O ye kings, be wise; be admonished, ye judges of the earth.

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

11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Služite Jahvi sa strahom, s trepetom se pokorite njemu,

12 Do homage in purity, lest He be angry, and ye perish in the way, when suddenly His wrath is kindled. Happy are all they that take refuge in Him.

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