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;

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

2 But, in the law of Yahweh, is his delight, —and, in his law, doth he talk with himself day and night.

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

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.

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 Not so, the lawless, —but as chaff which is driven about by the wind:

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

5 For this cause, shall the lawless not stand in the judgment, —nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

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

6 For Yahweh doth acknowledge the way of the righteous; but, the way of the lawless, shall vanish.

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