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 èovjeku koji ne ide na vijeæe bezbožnièko, i na putu grješnièkom ne stoji, i u društvu nevaljalijeh ljudi ne sjedi,

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

Nego mu je omilio zakon Gospodnji i o zakonu njegovu misli dan i noæ!

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 kao drvo usaðeno kraj potoka, koje rod svoj donosi u svoje vrijeme, i kojemu list ne vene: što god radi, u svemu napreduje.

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

Nijesu taki bezbožnici, nego su kao prah koji rasipa vjetar.

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

Zato se neæe bezbožnici održati na sudu, ni grješnici na zboru pravednièkom.

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

Jer Gospod zna put pravednièki; a put bezbožnièki propašæe.
