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 has not followed the counsel of the impious, and has not remained in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the chair of pestilence.

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

But his will is with the law of the Lord, and he will meditate on his law, 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 will be like a tree that has been planted beside running waters, which will provide its fruit in its time, and its leaf will not fall away, and all things whatsoever that he does will prosper.

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

Not so the impious, not so. For they are like the dust that the wind casts along the face of the earth.

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

Therefore, the impious will not prevail 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 knows the way of the just. And the path of the impious will pass away.
