Psalmi 1

1 Blagoslovljen je človek, ki ne hodi po nasvetu brezbožnih niti ne stoji na poti grešnikov niti ne poseda na sedežu posmehljivcev.

Happy are those who do not follow the counsel of the wicked, not halting in ways frequented by sinners, nor taking a seat in a gathering of scoffers.

2 Temveč je njegovo veselje v Gospodovi postavi in o njegovi postavi premišljuje podnevi in ponoči.

But the law of the Lord is their joy, they study it day and night.

3 On bo kakor drevo, posajeno ob rekah vodá, ki prinaša svoj sad ob svojem času. Prav tako njegovo listje ne bo ovenelo in karkoli dela, bo uspelo.

They are like trees planted by runlets of water, yielding fruit in due season, leaves never fading. In all that they do, they prosper.

4 Brezbožni niso takšni, temveč so kakor pleve, ki jih veter odnaša.

Not so fare the wicked, not so; like chaff are they, blown by the wind.

5 Zato brezbožni ne bodo obstali na sodbi niti grešniki v skupnosti pravičnih.

So the wicked will not stand firm in the judgment, nor sinners appear, when the righteous are gathered.

6 Kajti Gospod pozna pot pravičnih, toda pot brezbožnih bo izginila.

For the way of the righteous is dear to the Lord, but the way of the wicked will end in ruin.
