اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 1

١ 1 طُوبَى لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَسْلُكْ فِي مَشُورَةِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، وَفِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْخُطَاةِ لَمْ يَقِفْ، وَفِي مَجْلِسِ ٱلْمُسْتَهْزِئِينَ لَمْ يَجْلِسْ.

Happy are those who do not follow the counsel of the wicked, not halting in ways frequented by sinners, nor taking a seat in a gathering of scoffers.

٢ 2 لَكِنْ فِي نَامُوسِ ٱلرَّبِّ مَسَرَّتُهُ، وَفِي نَامُوسِهِ يَلْهَجُ نَهَارًا وَلَيْلًا.

But the law of the Lord is their joy, they study it day and night.

٣ 3 فَيَكُونُ كَشَجَرَةٍ مَغْرُوسَةٍ عِنْدَ مَجَارِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ، ٱلَّتِي تُعْطِي ثَمَرَهَا فِي أَوَانِهِ، وَوَرَقُهَا لَا يَذْبُلُ. وَكُلُّ مَا يَصْنَعُهُ يَنْجَحُ.

They are like trees planted by runlets of water, yielding fruit in due season, leaves never fading. In all that they do, they prosper.

٤ 4 لَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ، لَكِنَّهُمْ كَٱلْعُصَافَةِ ٱلَّتِي تُذَرِّيهَا ٱلرِّيحُ.

Not so fare the wicked, not so; like chaff are they, blown by the wind.

٥ 5 لِذَلِكَ لَا تَقُومُ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ فِي ٱلدِّينِ، وَلَا ٱلْخُطَاةُ فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ.

So the wicked will not stand firm in the judgment, nor sinners appear, when the righteous are gathered.

٦ 6 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَعْلَمُ طَرِيقَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ، أَمَّا طَرِيقُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ فَتَهْلِكُ.

For the way of the righteous is dear to the Lord, but the way of the wicked will end in ruin.
