Psalmi 2

1 Zašto se bune narodi i plemena pomišljaju zaludne stvari?

Why this turmoil of nations, this futile plotting of peoples,

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

with kings of the earth conspiring, and rulers consulting together, against the Lord and against his anointed,

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

to snap their bonds and fling their cords away?

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

He whose throne is in heaven laughs, the Lord mocks them.

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

Then he speaks to them in his wrath, and in his hot anger confounds them.

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

‘This my king is installed by me, on Zion my holy mountain.’

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

I will tell of the Lord’s decree. He said to me: ‘You are my son, this day I became your father.

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

Only ask, and I make you the heir of the nations, and lord of the world to its utmost bounds.

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

You will break them with sceptre of iron, shatter them like pottery.’

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

So now, you kings, be wise: be warned, you rulers of earth.

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

Serve the Lord in awe, kiss his feet 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!

lest, angry, he hurl you to ruin; for soon will his fury blaze. Happy all who take refuge in him.
