اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 1

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

[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].

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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,

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

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].
