Psalms 1

1 Happy is the man who does not go in the company of sinners, or take his place in the way of evil-doers, or in the seat of those who do not give honour to the Lord.

Blagoslovljen je človek, ki ne hodi po nasvetu brezbožnih niti ne stoji na poti grešnikov niti ne poseda na sedežu posmehljivcev.

2 But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and whose mind is on his law day and night.

Temveč je njegovo veselje v Gospodovi postavi in o njegovi postavi premišljuje podnevi in ponoči.

3 He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, which gives its fruit at the right time, whose leaves will ever be green; and he will do well in all his undertakings.

On bo kakor drevo, posajeno ob rekah vodá, ki prinaša svoj sad ob svojem času. Prav tako njegovo listje ne bo ovenelo in karkoli dela, bo uspelo.

4 The evil-doers are not so; but are like the dust from the grain, which the wind takes away.

Brezbožni niso takšni, temveč so kakor pleve, ki jih veter odnaša.

5 For this cause there will be no mercy for sinners when they are judged, and the evil-doers will have no place among the upright,

Zato brezbožni ne bodo obstali na sodbi niti grešniki v skupnosti pravičnih.

6 Because the Lord sees the way of the upright, but the end of the sinner is destruction.

Kajti Gospod pozna pot pravičnih, toda pot brezbožnih bo izginila.
