Psalms 2
1 (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]!
Зашто се буне народи и племена помишљају залудне ствари?
2 The kings of the nations prepare to revolt; the rulers plot together [to fight] against Yahweh and against his chosen king.
Устају цареви земаљски, и кнезови се скупљају на Господа и на помазаника Његовог.
3 They shout, “We should free ourselves from their control [MET]; we should not let them rule over us any longer!”
"Раскинимо свезе њихове и збацимо са себе јарам њихов."
4 But Yahweh, the one who sits [on his throne] in heaven, laughs [at them]; he ridicules those rulers.
Онај, што живи на небесима, смеје се, Господ им се подсмева.
5 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.
Па им говори у гневу свом и јарошћу својом збуњује их:
6 [Yahweh says], “I have installed my king on Zion, my sacred hill [in Jerusalem].”
"Ја сам помазао цара свог на Сиону, на светој гори својој."
7 [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.
Казаћу наредбу Господњу; Он рече мени: "Ти си син мој, ја те сад родих.
8 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.
Ишти у мене, и даћу ти народе у наследство, и крајеве земаљске теби у државу.
9 You will defeat them completely [MET]; you will [destroy them like people] smash a clay pot with an iron rod [SIM].’”
Ударићеш их гвозденом палицом; разбићеш их као лончарски суд."
10 So then, you kings and other rulers on the earth, act wisely! [Heed what Yahweh is] warning you!
Сад, цареви, оразумите се; научите се судије земаљске!
11 Serve Yahweh, fervently revering him; Rejoice [about what he has done for you], but tremble before him!
Служите Господу са страхом, и радујте се с трепетом.
12 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].
Поштујте сина, да се не разгневи, и ви не изгинете на путу свом; јер ће се гнев Његов брзо разгорети. Благо свима који се у Њ уздају!
