Psalms 2

1 Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot in vain?

Zakaj besnijo pogani in ljudstvo domišlja prazno stvar?

2 The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against YHWH, and against his Anointed:

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

3 "Let's tear off their shackles, and throw off their ropes from us."

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

4 The one who sits in the heavens laughs. YHWH scoffs at them.

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

5 Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath:

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

6 "But I myself have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain."

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

7 I will tell of the decree. YHWH said to 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 of me, and I will give the nations as your inheritance, and the farthest parts 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 shall rule them with an iron scepter. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."

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

10 Now therefore, you kings, be wise; receive correction, you judges of the 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 Do homage in purity, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, when his anger is suddenly kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge 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.
