Psalmów 1

1 Błogosławiony człowiek, który nie idzie za radą niegodziwych, nie stoi na drodze grzeszników i nie zasiada w gronie szyderców;

[God] is pleased with those who do not do what [MET] wicked people advise them to do, and who do not imitate the behavior of [MET] sinful people, and who do not join in with people who (ridicule/sneer at) [God].

2 Lecz ma upodobanie w prawie PANA i nad jego prawem rozmyśla we dnie i w nocy.

Those whom God is pleased with delight in doing the things that he has instructed/taught us to do. They read and think about Yahweh’s requirements, day and night.

3 Będzie on bowiem jak drzewo zasadzone nad strumieniami wód, które wydaje swój owoc w swoim czasie; jego liść nie zwiędnie i wszystko, co robi, powiedzie się.

They [constantly produce/do things that please God] just like fruit trees that have been planted along the banks of a stream produce fruit at the right time every year. [Like] trees that never wither, they succeed in everything that they do.

4 Nie tak niegodziwi; oni są jak plewa, którą wiatr rozmiata.

But wicked people are not like that! Wicked people are [as worthless as] chaff that is blown away by the wind.

5 Dlatego niegodziwi nie ostoją się na sądzie ani grzesznicy w zgromadzeniu sprawiedliwych.

Therefore, wicked people (will not be acquitted/will be condemned) [LIT] when [God] judges people, and furthermore, sinful people will not even be present when [God] gathers righteous people together,

6 PAN bowiem zna drogę sprawiedliwych, ale droga niegodziwych zaginie.

because he guides and protects righteous people, but the path that the wicked walk on leads them to where they will be destroyed/punished [by God forever].
