< 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].
Благо човеку који не иде на веће безбожничко, и на путу грешничком не стоји, и у друштву неваљалих људи не седи,
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.
Него му је омилео закон Господњи и о закону Његовом мисли дан и ноћ!
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.
Он је као дрво усађено крај потока, које род свој доноси у своје време, и коме лист не вене: шта год ради, у свему напредује.
4 But wicked people are not like that! Wicked people are [as worthless as] chaff that is blown away by the wind.
Нису такви безбожници, него су као прах који расипа ветар.
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,
Зато се неће безбожници одржати на суду, ни грешници на збору праведничком.
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].
Јер Господ зна пут праведнички; а пут безбожнички пропашће.
