Psalms 1

1 “BOOK I” Happy the man who walketh not in the counsel of the unrighteous, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers;

١ طُوبَى لِلإِنْسَانِ الَّذِي لَا يَتْبَعُ مَشُورَةَ الأَشْرَارِ، ولَا يَقِفُ فِي طَرِيقِ الْخَاطِئِينَ، وَلَا يُجَالِسُ الْمُسْتَهْزِئِينَ.

2 But whose delight is in the law of the LORD, And who meditateth on his precepts day and night.

٢ بَلْ فِي شَرِيعَةِ الرَّبِّ بَهْجَتُهُ، يَتَأَمَّلُ فِيهَا نَهَاراً وَلَيْلاً.

3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaves also do not wither: All that he doeth shall prosper.

٣ فَيَكُونُ كَشَجَرَةٍ مَغْرُوسَةٍ عِنْدَ مَجَارِي الْمِيَاهِ، تُعْطِي ثَمَرَهَا فِي حِينِهِ، وَوَرَقُهَا لَا يَذْبُلُ، وَكُلُّ مَا يَصْنَعُهُ يُفْلِحُ.

4 Not so the unrighteous; They are like chaff, which the wind driveth away.

٤ لَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ حَالُ الأَشْرَارِ، بَلْ إنَّهُمْ مِثْلُ التِّبْنِ الَّذِي تُبَدِّدُهُ الرِّيحُ.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the just.

٥ لِذَلِكَ لَا تَقُومُ لَهُمْ قَائِمَةٌ فِي يَوْمِ الْقَضَاءِ، وَلَا يَكُونُ لِلْخُطَاةِ مَكَانٌ بَيْنَ جَمَاعَةِ الأَبْرَارِ،

6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked leadeth to ruin.

٦ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَحْفَظُ طَرِيقَ الأَبْرَارِ، أَمَّا طَرِيقُ الأَشْرَارِ فَمَصِيرُهَا الهَلاكُ.
