Psalms 2

1 Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity?

Zakaj besnijo pogani in ljudstvo domišlja prazno stvar?

2 Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, 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 from us Their thick bands.'

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

4 He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.

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

5 Then doth He speak unto them in His anger, And in His wrath He doth trouble them:

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

6 'And I — I have anointed My King, Upon Zion — My holy hill.'

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

7 I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, 'My Son Thou [art], I to-day have brought thee 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 — thy inheritance, And thy possession — the ends of earth.

Zahtevaj od mene in dal ti bom pogane za tvojo dediščino in najbolj oddaljene kraje zemlje za tvojo posest.

9 Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.'

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 ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.

Gospodu služite s strahom in veselite se s trepetanjem.

12 Kiss the Chosen One, lest He be angry, And ye lose the way, When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness 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.
