Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the one who doesn't follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path of sinners, or join in with scoffers.

Blagoslovljen je človek, ki ne hodi po nasvetu brezbožnih niti ne stoji na poti grešnikov niti ne poseda na sedežu posmehljivcev.

2 But his delight is in the law of YHWH, and on his law he meditates day and night.

Temveč je njegovo veselje v Gospodovi postavi in o njegovi postavi premišljuje podnevi in ponoči.

3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither, and whatever he does shall prosper.

On bo kakor drevo, posajeno ob rekah vodá, ki prinaša svoj sad ob svojem času. Prav tako njegovo listje ne bo ovenelo in karkoli dela, bo uspelo.

4 Not so with the wicked; instead, they are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

Brezbožni niso takšni, temveč so kakor pleve, ki jih veter odnaša.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

Zato brezbožni ne bodo obstali na sodbi niti grešniki v skupnosti pravičnih.

6 For YHWH knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

Kajti Gospod pozna pot pravičnih, toda pot brezbožnih bo izginila.
