Psalmi 1

1 Blago čovjeku koji ne slijedi savjeta opakih, ne staje na putu grešničkom i ne sjeda u zbor podrugljivaca,

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:

2 već uživa u Zakonu Jahvinu, o Zakonu njegovu misli dan i noć.

But his delight is in the law of Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 On je k'o stablo zasađeno pokraj voda tekućica što u svoje vrijeme plod donosi; lišće mu nikad ne vene, sve što radi dobrim urodi.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4 Nisu takvi opaki, ne, nisu takvi! Oni su k'o pljeva što je vjetar raznosi.

The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Stoga se opaki neće održati na sudu, ni grešnici u zajednici pravednih.

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 Jer Jahve zna put pravednih, a propast će put opakih.

For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous; But the way of the wicked shall perish.
