اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 1

١ 1 طُوبَى لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَسْلُكْ فِي مَشُورَةِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، وَفِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْخُطَاةِ لَمْ يَقِفْ، وَفِي مَجْلِسِ ٱلْمُسْتَهْزِئِينَ لَمْ يَجْلِسْ.

Happy is the man who does not go in the company of sinners, or take his place in the way of evil-doers, or in the seat of those who do not give honour to the Lord.

٢ 2 لَكِنْ فِي نَامُوسِ ٱلرَّبِّ مَسَرَّتُهُ، وَفِي نَامُوسِهِ يَلْهَجُ نَهَارًا وَلَيْلًا.

But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and whose mind is on his law day and night.

٣ 3 فَيَكُونُ كَشَجَرَةٍ مَغْرُوسَةٍ عِنْدَ مَجَارِي ٱلْمِيَاهِ، ٱلَّتِي تُعْطِي ثَمَرَهَا فِي أَوَانِهِ، وَوَرَقُهَا لَا يَذْبُلُ. وَكُلُّ مَا يَصْنَعُهُ يَنْجَحُ.

He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, which gives its fruit at the right time, whose leaves will ever be green; and he will do well in all his undertakings.

٤ 4 لَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ، لَكِنَّهُمْ كَٱلْعُصَافَةِ ٱلَّتِي تُذَرِّيهَا ٱلرِّيحُ.

The evil-doers are not so; but are like the dust from the grain, which the wind takes away.

٥ 5 لِذَلِكَ لَا تَقُومُ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ فِي ٱلدِّينِ، وَلَا ٱلْخُطَاةُ فِي جَمَاعَةِ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ.

For this cause there will be no mercy for sinners when they are judged, and the evil-doers will have no place among the upright,

٦ 6 لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يَعْلَمُ طَرِيقَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ، أَمَّا طَرِيقُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ فَتَهْلِكُ.

Because the Lord sees the way of the upright, but the end of the sinner is destruction.
