< Psalms 1 >
1 Blessed is the man who has not followed the counsel of the impious, and has not remained in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the chair of pestilence.
【善惡二路】凡不隨從惡人的計謀,不插足於罪人的道路,不參與譏諷者的席位,
2 But his will is with the law of the Lord, and he will meditate on his law, day and night.
專心愛好上主法律的,畫夜默思上主誡命的,這樣的人才是有福的!
3 And he will be like a tree that has been planted beside running waters, which will provide its fruit in its time, and its leaf will not fall away, and all things whatsoever that he does will prosper.
他像植在溪畔的樹木,準時結果,枝葉不枯,所作所為,隨心所欲。
4 Not so the impious, not so. For they are like the dust that the wind casts along the face of the earth.
惡人卻不如此,絕不如此! 他們像被風吹散的糠秕。
5 Therefore, the impious will not prevail again in judgment, nor sinners in the council of the just.
在審判的時日,惡人站立不住;在義人的會中,罪人不能立足:
6 For the Lord knows the way of the just. And the path of the impious will pass away.
因上主賞識義人的行徑,惡人的行徑必自趨沉淪
