Psalms 1

1 [God] is pleased with those who do not do what [MET] wicked people advise them to do, and who do not imitate the behavior of [MET] sinful people, and who do not join in with people who (ridicule/sneer at) [God].

Heureux l'homme qui n'est point allé au conseil des impies qui ne s'est pas arrêté dans la voie des pécheurs et ne s'est point assis dans la chaire de pestilence,

2 Those whom God is pleased with delight in doing the things that he has instructed/taught us to do. They read and think about Yahweh’s requirements, day and night.

Mais dont la volonté est conforme à la loi du Seigneur, et qui, nuit et jour, méditera sur cette loi.

3 They [constantly produce/do things that please God] just like fruit trees that have been planted along the banks of a stream produce fruit at the right time every year. [Like] trees that never wither, they succeed in everything that they do.

Il sera comme l'arbre planté au bord des eaux, et qui donnera son fruit en sa saison; ses feuilles ne tomberont jamais, et en toutes ses œuvres il prospérera.

4 But wicked people are not like that! Wicked people are [as worthless as] chaff that is blown away by the wind.

Ils ne sont pas ainsi les impies, ils ne sont pas ainsi; mais ils sont comme la paille que le vent balaie sur la face de la terre.

5 Therefore, wicked people (will not be acquitted/will be condemned) [LIT] when [God] judges people, and furthermore, sinful people will not even be present when [God] gathers righteous people together,

C'est pourquoi les impies ne ressusciteront pas dans le jugement, ni les pécheurs dans l'assemblée des justes.

6 because he guides and protects righteous people, but the path that the wicked walk on leads them to where they will be destroyed/punished [by God forever].

Car le Seigneur connaît la voie des justes; et la voie des pécheurs périra.
