< 詩篇 1 >
1 惡きものの謀略にあゆまず つみびとの途にたたず 嘲るものの座にすわらぬ者はさいはひなり
Blessed is the man who has not followed the counsel of the impious, and has not remained in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the chair of pestilence.
2 かかる人はヱホバの法をよろこびて日も夜もこれをおもふ
But his will is with the law of the Lord, and he will meditate on his law, day and night.
3 かかる人は水流のほとりにうゑし樹の期にいたりて實をむすび 葉もまた凋まざるごとく その作ところ皆さかえん
And he will be like a tree that has been planted beside running waters, which will provide its fruit in its time, and its leaf will not fall away, and all things whatsoever that he does will prosper.
Not so the impious, not so. For they are like the dust that the wind casts along the face of the earth.
5 然ばあしきものは審判にたへず罪人は義きものの會にたつことを得ざるなり
Therefore, the impious will not prevail again in judgment, nor sinners in the council of the just.
6 そはヱホバはただしきものの途をしりたまふ されど惡きものの途はほろびん
For the Lord knows the way of the just. And the path of the impious will pass away.
