Psalmi 2

1 Zakaj besnijo pogani in ljudstvo domišlja prazno stvar?

Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?

2 Kralji zemlje so se usmerili in vladarji se skupaj posvetujejo zoper Gospoda in zoper njegovega maziljenca, rekoč:

The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One:

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

“Let us break Their chains and cast away Their cords.”

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

The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them.

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

Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury:

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

“I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.”

7 Oznanil bom odlok. Gospod mi je rekel: »Ti si moj Sin. Ta dan sem te rodil.

I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.

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

Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession.

9 Zdrobil jih boš z železno palico, raztreščil jih boš na koščke kakor lončarjevo posodo.«

You will break them with an iron scepter; You will shatter them like pottery.”

10 Zatorej bodite sedaj modri, oh vi kralji. Dajte se poučiti, vi sodniki zemlje.

Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O judges of the earth.

11 Gospodu služite s strahom in veselite se s trepetanjem.

Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 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.

Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you perish in your rebellion, when His wrath ignites in an instant. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.
