Psalms 2

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

Zašto se bune narodi, zašto puci ludosti snuju?

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

Ustaju kraljevi zemaljski, knezovi se rotÄe protiv Jahve i Pomazanika njegova:

3 to snap their bonds and fling their cords away?

“Skršimo okove njihove i jaram njihov zbacimo!”

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

Smije se onaj što na nebu stoluje, Gospod im se podruguje.

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

Tad im veli u svom gnjevu, žestinom ih on zbunjuje:

6 “This my king is installed by me, on Zion my holy mountain.”

“TÓa ja kralja svog postavih nad Sionom, svojom svetom gorom.”

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

Obznanjujem odluku Jahvinu: Gospodin mi reče: “Ti si sin moj, danas te rodih.

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

Zatraži samo, i dat ću ti puke u baštinu, i u posjed krajeve zemaljske.

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

Vladat ćeš njima palicom gvozdenÄom i razbit ih kao sud lončarski.”

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

Opametite se sada, vi kraljevi, Urazumite se, suci zemaljski.

11 Serve the Lord in awe, kiss his feet with trembling,

Služite Jahvi sa strahom, s trepetom se pokorite njemu,

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

da se ne razgnjevi te ne propadnete na putu, kad uskoro plane srdžba njegova. Blago svima koji se njemu utječu!
