< 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 doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;
2 već uživa u Zakonu Jahvinu, o Zakonu njegovu misli dan i noć.
but his delight is in the LORD’s law. 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 leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.
4 Nisu takvi opaki, ne, nisu takvi! Oni su k'o pljeva što je vjetar raznosi.
The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives 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 knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
