Psalmi 1

1 Svētīgs tas cilvēks, kas nestaigā bezdievīgo runās, nedz stāv uz grēcinieku ceļa, nedz sēž mēdītāju biedrībā;

Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

2 Bet kam labs prāts pie Tā Kunga bauslības, un kas Viņa bauslību pārdomā dienās, naktīs.

but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night.

3 Jo tas ir kā koks stādīts pie ūdens upēm, kas savus augļus nes savā laikā, un viņa lapas nesavīst, un viss, ko viņš dara, tas labi izdodas.

He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

4 Tā nav bezdievīgiem, bet tie ir kā pelus, ko vējš izputina.

The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

5 Tāpēc bezdievīgie nepastāvēs sodā, nedz grēcinieki taisno draudzē.

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 Jo Tas Kungs pazīst taisno ceļu, bet bezdievīgo ceļš ies bojā.

For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
