Psalms 2

1 Why are the nations in tumultuous agitation, and [why] do the peoples meditate a vain thing?

Zakaj besnijo pogani in ljudstvo domišlja prazno stvar?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the princes plot together, against Jehovah 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 bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us!

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

4 He that dwelleth in the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall have them in derision.

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

5 Then will he speak to them in his anger, and in his fierce displeasure will he terrify them:

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

6 And I have anointed my king upon Zion, the hill of my holiness.

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

7 I will declare the decree: Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; I this day have 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 thee nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the ends of the earth:

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 sceptre of iron, as a potter's vessel thou shalt dash them in pieces.

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

10 And now, O kings, be ye wise, be admonished, ye judges of the earth.

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

11 Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Gospodu služite s strahom in veselite se s trepetanjem.

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, though his anger burn but a little. Blessed are all who have their trust 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.
