Psalmi 2

1 Zašto se bune narodi i plemena pomišljaju zaludne stvari?

Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?

2 Ustaju carevi zemaljski, i knezovi se skupljaju na Gospoda i na pomazanika njegova.

The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against Yahweh, and against his Anointed, saying,

3 “Raskinimo sveze njihove i zbacimo sa sebe jaram njihov.”

“Let’s break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us.”

4 Onaj, što živi na nebesima, smije se, Gospod im se potsmijeva.

He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.

5 Pa im govori u gnjevu svojem i jarošæu svojom zbunjuje ih:

Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath:

6 “Ja sam pomazao cara svojega na Sionu, na svetoj gori svojoj.”

“Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”

7 Kazaæu naredbu Gospodnju; on reèe meni: “ti si sin moj, ja te sad rodih.

I will tell of the decree: Yahweh said to me, “You are my son. Today I have become your father.

8 Išti u mene, i daæu ti narode u našljedstvo, i krajeve zemaljske tebi u državu.

Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.

9 Udariæeš ih gvozdenom palicom; razbiæeš ih kao lonèarski sud.”

You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

10 Sad, carevi, orazumite se; nauèite se sudije zemaljske!

Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

11 Služite Gospodu sa strahom, i radujte se s trepetom.

Serve Yahweh with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 Poštujte sina, da se ne razgnjevi, i vi ne izginete na putu svome; jer æe se gnjev njegov brzo razgorjeti. Blago svjema koji se u nj uzdaju!

Give sincere homage to the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish on the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
