Psalmi 2

1 Kāpēc pagāni trako, un ļaudis domā uz nelietību?

Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish?

2 Ķēniņi virs zemes saceļas un valdnieki sadomājās kopā pret To Kungu un pret Viņa svaidīto.

The kings of the earth have taken their place, and the rulers are fixed in their purpose, against the Lord, and against the king of his selection, saying,

3 Sarausim viņu saites un atmetīsim viņu virves!

Let their chains be broken, and their cords taken from off us.

4 Bet kas debesīs valda, smejas, un Tas Kungs tos tur par nieku.

Then he whose seat is in the heavens will be laughing: the Lord will make sport of them.

5 Tad Viņš runās uz tiem Savās dusmās, un ar Savu bardzību Viņš tos iztrūcinās.

Then will his angry words come to their ears, and by his wrath they will be troubled:

6 Bet Es Savu ķēniņu esmu svaidījis pār Ciānu, Savu svēto kalnu.

But I have put my king on my holy hill of Zion.

7 Es sludināšu likumu: Tas Kungs uz mani sacījis: tu esi Mans Dēls, šodien Es tevi esmu dzemdinājis.

I will make clear the Lord's decision: he has said to me, You are my son, this day have I given you being.

8 Prasi Man, tad Es tev došu tautas par mantību, un pasaules galus par īpašumu.

Make your request to me, and I will give you the nations for your heritage, and the farthest limits of the earth will be under your hand.

9 Tu tos satrieksi ar dzelzs rīksti, kā podnieka trauku tu tos sadauzīsi.

They will be ruled by you with a rod of iron; they will be broken like a potter's vessel.

10 Nu tad, jūs ķēniņi, paliekat prātīgi, liekaties pamācīties, jūs soģi virs zemes.

So now be wise, you kings: take his teaching, you judges of the earth.

11 Kalpojiet Tam Kungam ar bijāšanu un priecājaties ar drebēšanu.

Give worship to the Lord with fear, kissing his feet and giving him honour,

12 Skūpstāt To Dēlu, lai Viņš nedusmo un jūs bojā neejat uz ceļa, jo drīz Viņa dusmas iedegsies, bet svētīgi visi, kas pie Viņa tveras.

For fear that he may be angry, causing destruction to come on you, because he is quickly moved to wrath. Happy are all those who put their faith in him.
