< Psalmi 1 >
1 Blagoslovljen je človek, ki ne hodi po nasvetu brezbožnih niti ne stoji na poti grešnikov niti ne poseda na sedežu posmehljivcev.
How happy the man, who hath not walked in the counsel of the lawless, —and, in the way of sinners, hath not stood, and, in the seat of scoffers, hath not sat;
2 Temveč je njegovo veselje v Gospodovi postavi in o njegovi postavi premišljuje podnevi in ponoči.
But, in the law of Yahweh, is his delight, —and, in his law, doth he talk with himself 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.
So doth he become like a tree planted by streams of waters, —that yieldeth, its fruit, in its season, whose leaf, also doth not wither, and, whatsoever he doeth, prospereth.
4 Brezbožni niso takšni, temveč so kakor pleve, ki jih veter odnaša.
Not so, the lawless, —but as chaff which is driven about by the wind:
5 Zato brezbožni ne bodo obstali na sodbi niti grešniki v skupnosti pravičnih.
For this cause, shall the lawless not stand in the judgment, —nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 Kajti Gospod pozna pot pravičnih, toda pot brezbožnih bo izginila.
For Yahweh doth acknowledge the way of the righteous; but, the way of the lawless, shall vanish.
