詩篇 1

1 悪しき者のはかりごとに歩まず、罪びとの道に立たず、あざける者の座にすわらぬ人はさいわいである。

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 このような人は主のおきてをよろこび、昼も夜もそのおきてを思う。

But his will is with the law of the Lord, and he will meditate on his law, day and night.

3 このような人は流れのほとりに植えられた木の時が来ると実を結び、その葉もしぼまないように、そのなすところは皆栄える。

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.

4 悪しき者はそうでない、風の吹き去るもみがらのようだ。

Not so the impious, not so. For they are like the dust that the wind casts along the face of the earth.

5 それゆえ、悪しき者はさばきに耐えない。罪びとは正しい者のつどいに立つことができない。

Therefore, the impious will not prevail again in judgment, nor sinners in the council of the just.

6 主は正しい者の道を知られる。しかし、悪しき者の道は滅びる。

For the Lord knows the way of the just. And the path of the impious will pass away.
