Psalms 2

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

Zašto se bune narodi, zašto puci ludosti snuju?

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

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

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

"Skršimo okove njihove i jaram njihov zbacimo!"

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

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

Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

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

Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

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

I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

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

Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

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

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

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

Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

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

Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Služite Jahvi sa strahom, s trepetom se pokorite njemu,

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

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