Psalmi 1

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

O the happiness of that one, who Hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked. And in the way of sinners hath not stood, And in the seat of scorners hath not sat;

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

But — in the law of Jehovah [is] his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by 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 hath been as a tree, Planted by rivulets of water, That giveth its fruit in its season, And its leaf doth not wither, And all that he doth he causeth to prosper.

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

Not so the wicked: But — as chaff that wind driveth away!

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

Therefore the wicked rise not in judgment, Nor sinners in the company of the righteous,

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

For Jehovah is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!
