Psalms 2

1 Why are the nations in an uproar? And why do the peoples mutter in vain?

Zakaj besnijo pogani in ljudstvo domišlja prazno stvar?

2 The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against His anointed:

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

3 'Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.'

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

4 He that sitteth in heaven laugheth, the Lord hath them in derision.

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

5 Then will He speak unto them in His wrath, and affright them in His sore displeasure:

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

6 'Truly it is I that have established My king upon Zion, My holy mountain.'

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

7 I will tell of the decree: the LORD said unto me: 'Thou art My son, this day have I begotten thee.

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

8 Ask of Me, and I will give the nations for thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth for thy possession.

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

9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.'

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

10 Now therefore, O ye kings, be wise; be admonished, ye judges of the earth.

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

11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Gospodu služite s strahom in veselite se s trepetanjem.

12 Do homage in purity, lest He be angry, and ye perish in the way, when suddenly His wrath is kindled. Happy are all they that take refuge 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.
