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.

悪しき者のはかりごとに歩まず、罪びとの道に立たず、あざける者の座にすわらぬ人はさいわいである。

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

このような人は主のおきてをよろこび、昼も夜もそのおきてを思う。

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.

このような人は流れのほとりに植えられた木の時が来ると実を結び、その葉もしぼまないように、そのなすところは皆栄える。

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

悪しき者はそうでない、風の吹き去るもみがらのようだ。

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,

それゆえ、悪しき者はさばきに耐えない。罪びとは正しい者のつどいに立つことができない。

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

主は正しい者の道を知られる。しかし、悪しき者の道は滅びる。
