Psalms 1

1 O the happiness of that one, who Hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked. And in the way of sinners hath not stood, And in the seat of scorners hath not sat;

Blago èovjeku koji ne ide na vijeæe bezbožnièko, i na putu grješnièkom ne stoji, i u društvu nevaljalijeh ljudi ne sjedi,

2 But — in the law of Jehovah [is] his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:

Nego mu je omilio zakon Gospodnji i o zakonu njegovu misli dan i noæ!

3 And he hath been as a tree, Planted by rivulets of water, That giveth its fruit in its season, And its leaf doth not wither, And all that he doth he causeth to prosper.

On je kao drvo usaðeno kraj potoka, koje rod svoj donosi u svoje vrijeme, i kojemu list ne vene: što god radi, u svemu napreduje.

4 Not so the wicked: But — as chaff that wind driveth away!

Nijesu taki bezbožnici, nego su kao prah koji rasipa vjetar.

5 Therefore the wicked rise not in judgment, Nor sinners in the company of the righteous,

Zato se neæe bezbožnici održati na sudu, ni grješnici na zboru pravednièkom.

6 For Jehovah is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!

Jer Gospod zna put pravednièki; a put bezbožnièki propašæe.
