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].

Μακάριος ο άνθρωπος, όστις δεν περιεπάτησεν εν βουλή ασεβών, και εν οδώ αμαρτωλών δεν εστάθη, και επί καθέδρας χλευαστών δεν εκάθησεν·

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.

αλλ' εν τω νόμω του Κυρίου είναι το θέλημα αυτού, και εν τω νόμω αυτού μελετά ημέραν και νύκτα.

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.

Και θέλει είσθαι ως δένδρον πεφυτευμένον παρά τους ρύακας των υδάτων, το οποίον δίδει τον καρπόν αυτού εν τω καιρώ αυτού, και το φύλλον αυτού δεν μαραίνεται· και πάντα, όσα αν πράττη, θέλουσιν ευοδωθή.

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

Δεν θέλουσιν είσθαι ούτως οι ασεβείς· αλλ' ως το λεπτόν άχυρον, το οποίον εκρίπτει ο άνεμος.

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,

Διά τούτο δεν θέλουσιν εγερθή οι ασεβείς εν τη κρίσει, ουδέ οι αμαρτωλοί εν τη συνάξει των δικαίων.

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].

Διότι γνωρίζει ο Κύριος την οδόν των δικαίων· η δε οδός των ασεβών θέλει απολεσθή.
