< Psalms 1 >
1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the advice of the wicked, or stand in the pathway with sinners, or sit in the assembly of mockers.
Blago čovjeku koji ne slijedi savjeta opakih, ne staje na putu grešničkom i ne sjeda u zbor podrugljivaca,
2 But his delight is in the law of Yahweh, and on his law he meditates day and night.
već uživa u Zakonu Jahvinu, o Zakonu njegovu misli dan i noć.
3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaves do not wither; whatever he does will prosper.
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 The wicked are not so, but are instead like the chaff that the wind drives away.
Nisu takvi opaki, ne, nisu takvi! Oni su k'o pljeva što je vjetar raznosi.
5 So the wicked will 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 approves of the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
Jer Jahve zna put pravednih, a propast će put opakih.
