Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers,

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

2 but his delight is in the law of Jehovah, and on his law he meditates day and night.

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

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. And whatever he does shall prosper.

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.

4 The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

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

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

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

6 For Jehovah knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

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