Psalmi 1

1 Blagor možu, ki ne hodi po sovetu krivičnih in ne stopa na grešnikov pot ter ne sedeva v zboru zasmehovalcev;

Happy are those who don't follow the advice of the wicked. They refuse to adopt the ways of sinful people, and they don't make fun of others.

2 Nego veselje njegovo je v postavi Gospodovi, in postavo njegovo premišljuje noč in dan.

Instead they love to do what the law of the Lord says, and they think about it day and night.

3 Je namreč kakor drevo zasajeno ob vodnih potocih, katero sad svoj rodi o svojem času, in listje njegovo ne odpada: zatorej karkoli bode počel, posrečilo se mu bode.

They're like trees growing by flowing rivers, producing fruit every season. Their leaves never wither, and they are successful in all they do.

4 Ne tako krivični; nego kakor pleve, katere veter raznaša.

But it's not like that for the wicked! They are like chaff, blown away by the wind.

5 Zatorej ne ostanejo krivični v óni sodbi; ne grešniki v zboru pravičnih.

For this reason the wicked will not survive the judgment—sinners have no place among those who live right.

6 Ker Gospod pozna pravičnih pot; pot pa krivičnih izgine.

For the Lord watches over those who follow the right way, but the way of the wicked leads to death.
