Psalms 2
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
Zakaj besnijo pogani in ljudstvo domišlja prazno stvar?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, [saying],
Kralji zemlje so se usmerili in vladarji se skupaj posvetujejo zoper Gospoda in zoper njegovega maziljenca, rekoč:
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
»Pretrgajmo njihove vezi in odvrzimo njihove vrvi od sebe.«
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Tisti, ki sedi v nebesih, se bo smejal. Gospod jih bo imel v posmeh.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Potem jim bo govoril v svojem besu in jih nadlegoval v svojem bridkem nezadovoljstvu.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
»Vendarle sem jaz postavil svojega kralja na svoji sveti gori Sion.«
7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou [art] my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Oznanil bom odlok. Gospod mi je rekel: »Ti si moj Sin. Ta dan sem te rodil.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give [thee] the heathen [for] thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth [for] thy possession.
Zahtevaj od mene in dal ti bom pogane za tvojo dediščino in najbolj oddaljene kraje zemlje za tvojo posest.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
Zdrobil jih boš z železno palico, raztreščil jih boš na koščke kakor lončarjevo posodo.«
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
Zatorej bodite sedaj modri, oh vi kralji. Dajte se poučiti, vi sodniki zemlje.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Gospodu služite s strahom in veselite se s trepetanjem.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish [from] the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed [are] all they that put their trust in him.
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.
