Mezmurlar 1

1 Ne mutlu o insana ki, kötülerin öğüdüyle yürümez, Günahkârların yolunda durmaz, Alaycıların arasında oturmaz.

[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 Ancak zevkini RAB'bin Yasası'ndan alır Ve gece gündüz onun üzerinde derin derin düşünür.

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 Böylesi akarsu kıyılarına dikilmiş ağaca benzer, Meyvesini mevsiminde verir, Yaprağı hiç solmaz. Yaptığı her işi başarır.

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 Kötüler böyle değil, Rüzgarın savurduğu saman çöpüne benzerler.

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

5 Bu yüzden yargılanınca aklanamaz, Doğrular topluluğunda yer bulamaz günahkârlar.

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 Çünkü RAB doğruların yolunu gözetir, Kötülerin yolu ise ölüme götürür.

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].
