< Psalms 2 >
1 Why have nations assembled tumultuously? And peoples meditate vanity?
Zakaj besnijo pogani in ljudstvo domišlja prazno stvar?
2 Kings of the earth station themselves, and princes have been united together, against YHWH, and against His Messiah:
Kralji zemlje so se usmerili in vladarji se skupaj posvetujejo zoper Gospoda in zoper njegovega maziljenca, rekoč:
3 “Let us draw off Their cords, And cast Their thick bands from us.”
»Pretrgajmo njihove vezi in odvrzimo njihove vrvi od sebe.«
4 He who is sitting in the heavens laughs, The Lord mocks at them.
Tisti, ki sedi v nebesih, se bo smejal. Gospod jih bo imel v posmeh.
5 Then He speaks to them in His anger, and in His wrath He troubles them:
Potem jim bo govoril v svojem besu in jih nadlegoval v svojem bridkem nezadovoljstvu.
6 “And I have anointed My King, On Zion—My holy hill.”
»Vendarle sem jaz postavil svojega kralja na svoji sveti gori Sion.«
7 I declare concerning a statute: YHWH said to me, “You [are] My Son, today I have brought You forth.
Oznanil bom odlok. Gospod mi je rekel: »Ti si moj Sin. Ta dan sem te rodil.
8 Ask of Me and I give nations [as] Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth [for] Your possession.
Zahtevaj od mene in dal ti bom pogane za tvojo dediščino in najbolj oddaljene kraje zemlje za tvojo posest.
9 You rule them with a scepter of iron, You crush them as a vessel of a potter.”
Zdrobil jih boš z železno palico, raztreščil jih boš na koščke kakor lončarjevo posodo.«
10 And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
Zatorej bodite sedaj modri, oh vi kralji. Dajte se poučiti, vi sodniki zemlje.
11 Serve YHWH with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
Gospodu služite s strahom in veselite se s trepetanjem.
12 Kiss the Chosen One [[or Son]], lest He is angry, And you perish [from] the way, When His anger burns but a little, O the blessedness of all trusting 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.
