< 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.
【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 Instead they love to do what the law of the Lord says, and they think about it 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 They're like trees growing by flowing rivers, producing fruit every season. Their leaves never wither, and they are successful in all they do.
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 But it's not like that for the wicked! They are like chaff, blown away by the wind.
惡人卻不如此,絕不如此! 他們像被風吹散的糠秕。
5 For this reason the wicked will not survive the judgment—sinners have no place among those who live right.
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 watches over those who follow the right way, but the way of the wicked leads to death.
因上主賞識義人的行徑,惡人的行徑必自趨沉淪
