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 does not walk in the advice of the wicked, or stand in the pathway with sinners, or sit in the assembly of mockers.

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

But his delight is in the law of Yahweh, and on his law he meditates 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.

He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaves do not wither; whatever he does will prosper.

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

The wicked are not so, but are instead like the chaff that the wind drives away.

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

So the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

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

For Yahweh approves of the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
