< Psalms 1 >
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, and standeth not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the seat of scorners;
Blago čovjeku koji ne slijedi savjeta opakih, ne staje na putu grešničkom i ne sjeda u zbor podrugljivaca,
2 But his delight is in Jehovah's law, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
već uživa u Zakonu Jahvinu, o Zakonu njegovu misli dan i noć.
3 And he [is] as a tree planted by brooks of water, which giveth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf fadeth not; and all that he doeth prospereth.
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 as the chaff which the wind driveth 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 assembly of the righteous.
Stoga se opaki neće održati na sudu, ni grešnici u zajednici pravednih.
6 For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
Jer Jahve zna put pravednih, a propast će put opakih.
