Psalms 1

1 Happy are those who don't follow the advice of the wicked. They refuse to adopt the ways of sinful people, and they don't make fun of others.

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

2 Instead they love to do what the law of the Lord says, and they think about it day and night.

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

3 They're like trees growing by flowing rivers, producing fruit every season. Their leaves never wither, and they are successful in all they do.

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 But it's not like that for the wicked! They are like chaff, blown away by the wind.

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

5 For this reason the wicked will not survive the judgment—sinners have no place among those who live right.

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

6 For the Lord watches over those who follow the right way, but the way of the wicked leads to death.

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