Psalmi 2

1 Zašto se bune narodi i plemena pomišljaju zaludne stvari?

Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?

2 Ustaju carevi zemaljski, i knezovi se skupljaju na Gospoda i na pomazanika njegova.

The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against Adonai, and against his Anointed, saying,

3 “Raskinimo sveze njihove i zbacimo sa sebe jaram njihov.”

“Let’s break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us.”

4 Onaj, što živi na nebesima, smije se, Gospod im se potsmijeva.

He who sits in the heavens will laugh. 'Adonay [Lord] will have them in derision.

5 Pa im govori u gnjevu svojem i jarošæu svojom zbunjuje ih:

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

6 “Ja sam pomazao cara svojega na Sionu, na svetoj gori svojoj.”

“Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking].”

7 Kazaæu naredbu Gospodnju; on reèe meni: “ti si sin moj, ja te sad rodih.

I will tell of the statute. Adonai said to me, “You are my son. Today I have become your father.

8 Išti u mene, i daæu ti narode u našljedstvo, i krajeve zemaljske tebi u državu.

Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.

9 Udariæeš ih gvozdenom palicom; razbiæeš ih kao lonèarski sud.”

You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like pottery.”

10 Sad, carevi, orazumite se; nauèite se sudije zemaljske!

Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

11 Služite Gospodu sa strahom, i radujte se s trepetom.

Abad ·Serve· Adonai with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 Poštujte sina, da se ne razgnjevi, i vi ne izginete na putu svome; jer æe se gnjev njegov brzo razgorjeti. Blago svjema koji se u nj uzdaju!

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish on the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
