Psalmi 2
1 Zakaj besnijo pogani in ljudstvo domišlja prazno stvar?
(Why do the [leaders of] nations rage [against God]?/It is foolish for the nations to be angry [with God]) [RHQ]. (Why do people plan to rebel [against God] even though it is in vain?/It is useless for people to plan to rebel [against God]) [RHQ]!
2 Kralji zemlje so se usmerili in vladarji se skupaj posvetujejo zoper Gospoda in zoper njegovega maziljenca, rekoč:
The kings of the nations prepare to revolt; the rulers plot together [to fight] against Yahweh and against his chosen king.
3 »Pretrgajmo njihove vezi in odvrzimo njihove vrvi od sebe.«
They shout, “We should free ourselves from their control [MET]; we should not let them rule over us any longer!”
4 Tisti, ki sedi v nebesih, se bo smejal. Gospod jih bo imel v posmeh.
But Yahweh, the one who sits [on his throne] in heaven, laughs [at them]; he ridicules those rulers.
5 Potem jim bo govoril v svojem besu in jih nadlegoval v svojem bridkem nezadovoljstvu.
Then, because he is angry with them, he rebukes them. He causes them to be terrified when [they realize] that he will furiously punish them.
6 »Vendarle sem jaz postavil svojega kralja na svoji sveti gori Sion.«
[Yahweh says], “I have installed my king on Zion, my sacred hill [in Jerusalem].”
7 Oznanil bom odlok. Gospod mi je rekel: »Ti si moj Sin. Ta dan sem te rodil.
[And his king says], “I will proclaim what Yahweh has decreed. He said to me, ‘[It is as though] you are my son; today I have declared to everyone that [it is as though] [MET] I am your father.
8 Zahtevaj od mene in dal ti bom pogane za tvojo dediščino in najbolj oddaljene kraje zemlje za tvojo posest.
Ask me to give you the nations, so that they belong to you [to rule over them permanently], and I will give them to you. [Even] the most remote nations will be yours.
9 Zdrobil jih boš z železno palico, raztreščil jih boš na koščke kakor lončarjevo posodo.«
You will defeat them completely [MET]; you will [destroy them like people] smash a clay pot with an iron rod [SIM].’”
10 Zatorej bodite sedaj modri, oh vi kralji. Dajte se poučiti, vi sodniki zemlje.
So then, you kings and other rulers on the earth, act wisely! [Heed what Yahweh is] warning you!
11 Gospodu služite s strahom in veselite se s trepetanjem.
Serve Yahweh, fervently revering him; Rejoice [about what he has done for you], but tremble before him!
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.
Bow down humbly before his son! If you do not do that, Yahweh will be angry, and he will suddenly get rid of you. Do not forget that he can very quickly show that he is very angry! But he is very pleased with all those who request him to protect them [MET].
