Psalms 2
1 (Why do the [leaders of] nations rage [against God]?/It is foolish for the nations to be angry [with God]) [RHQ]. (Why do people plan to rebel [against God] even though it is in vain?/It is useless for people to plan to rebel [against God]) [RHQ]!
Zakaj hrumé narodi in ljudstva si izmišljajo prazno?
2 The kings of the nations prepare to revolt; the rulers plot together [to fight] against Yahweh and against his chosen king.
Zemlje kralji vstajajo in prvaki se posvetujejo skupaj zoper Gospoda in zoper maziljenca njegovega:
3 They shout, “We should free ourselves from their control [MET]; we should not let them rule over us any longer!”
Raztrgajmo njih vezí in sè sebe vrzimo njih debele vrvi!
4 But Yahweh, the one who sits [on his throne] in heaven, laughs [at them]; he ridicules those rulers.
Sedeči v nebesih se smeje; zasmehuje jih Gospod.
5 Then, because he is angry with them, he rebukes them. He causes them to be terrified when [they realize] that he will furiously punish them.
Tedaj jih ogovorí v jezi svoji, in v srdu svojem jih prestraši:
6 [Yahweh says], “I have installed my king on Zion, my sacred hill [in Jerusalem].”
Saj sem jaz pomazilil kralja svojega ter postavil čez Sijon, gôro svetosti svoje.
7 [And his king says], “I will proclaim what Yahweh has decreed. He said to me, ‘[It is as though] you are my son; today I have declared to everyone that [it is as though] [MET] I am your father.
Oznanim naj sklep: Gospod mi je rekel: Sin si moj, jaz sem te danes rodil.
8 Ask me to give you the nations, so that they belong to you [to rule over them permanently], and I will give them to you. [Even] the most remote nations will be yours.
Prosi me, in narode ti dam v posest in kraje zemlje v pravico posesti tvoje.
9 You will defeat them completely [MET]; you will [destroy them like people] smash a clay pot with an iron rod [SIM].’”
Zdrobiš jih s šibo železno; kakor prsteno posodo jih razsuješ.
10 So then, you kings and other rulers on the earth, act wisely! [Heed what Yahweh is] warning you!
Zdaj torej, kralji, poslušajte; poduk sprejmite, o zemlje sodniki!
11 Serve Yahweh, fervently revering him; Rejoice [about what he has done for you], but tremble before him!
V svetem strahu služite Gospodu, in radujte se v trepetu!
12 Bow down humbly before his son! If you do not do that, Yahweh will be angry, and he will suddenly get rid of you. Do not forget that he can very quickly show that he is very angry! But he is very pleased with all those who request him to protect them [MET].
Poljubite Sina, da se ne razsrdi in ne poginete na potu, ako se le kolikaj razvname jeza njegova; blagor vsem, kateri pribegajo do njega.
