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 who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence.

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

But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall 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 which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.

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

Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.

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

Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council of the just.

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

For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish.
