< Psalms 1 >
1 How happy the man, who hath not walked in the counsel of the lawless, —and, in the way of sinners, hath not stood, and, in the seat of scoffers, hath not sat;
不從惡人的計謀, 不站罪人的道路, 不坐褻慢人的座位,
2 But, in the law of Yahweh, is his delight, —and, in his law, doth he talk with himself day and night.
惟喜愛耶和華的律法, 晝夜思想, 這人便為有福!
3 So doth he become like a tree planted by streams of waters, —that yieldeth, its fruit, in its season, whose leaf, also doth not wither, and, whatsoever he doeth, prospereth.
他要像一棵樹栽在溪水旁, 按時候結果子, 葉子也不枯乾。 凡他所做的盡都順利。
4 Not so, the lawless, —but as chaff which is driven about by the wind:
惡人並不是這樣, 乃像糠詷被風吹散。
5 For this cause, shall the lawless not stand in the judgment, —nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
因此,當審判的時候,惡人必站立不住; 罪人在義人的會中也是如此。
6 For Yahweh doth acknowledge the way of the righteous; but, the way of the lawless, shall vanish.
因為耶和華知道義人的道路; 惡人的道路卻必滅亡。
