Psalms 2

1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

Zašto se bune narodi, zašto puci ludosti snuju?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, [saying],

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 the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.

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

5 Then shall he speak to them in his wrath, and trouble them in his sore displeasure.

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

6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

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

7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said to 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 [thee] the heathen [for] thy inheritance, and the uttermost parts 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 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, 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 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.

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