Psalmi 1

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

BOOK I HAPPY IS the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seat of the scornful.

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

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in 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 streams of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf doth not wither; and in whatsoever he doeth he shall prosper.

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

Not so the wicked; but they 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 the LORD regardeth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked shall perish.
