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.

Blagoslovljen je človek, ki ne hodi po nasvetu brezbožnih niti ne stoji na poti grešnikov niti ne poseda na sedežu posmehljivcev.

2 But his delight is in the law of Yahweh, and on his law he meditates day and night.

Temveč je njegovo veselje v Gospodovi postavi in o njegovi postavi premišljuje podnevi in ponoči.

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 bo kakor drevo, posajeno ob rekah vodá, ki prinaša svoj sad ob svojem času. Prav tako njegovo listje ne bo ovenelo in karkoli dela, bo uspelo.

4 The wicked are not so, but are instead like the chaff that the wind drives away.

Brezbožni niso takšni, temveč so kakor pleve, ki jih veter odnaša.

5 So the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

Zato brezbožni ne bodo obstali na sodbi niti grešniki v skupnosti pravičnih.

6 For Yahweh approves of the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

Kajti Gospod pozna pot pravičnih, toda pot brezbožnih bo izginila.
