Psalms 1

1 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.

Svētīgs tas cilvēks, kas nestaigā bezdievīgo runās, nedz stāv uz grēcinieku ceļa, nedz sēž mēdītāju biedrībā;

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

Bet kam labs prāts pie Tā Kunga bauslības, un kas Viņa bauslību pārdomā dienās, naktīs.

3 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.

Jo tas ir kā koks stādīts pie ūdens upēm, kas savus augļus nes savā laikā, un viņa lapas nesavīst, un viss, ko viņš dara, tas labi izdodas.

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

Tā nav bezdievīgiem, bet tie ir kā pelus, ko vējš izputina.

5 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,

Tāpēc bezdievīgie nepastāvēs sodā, nedz grēcinieki taisno draudzē.

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

Jo Tas Kungs pazīst taisno ceļu, bet bezdievīgo ceļš ies bojā.
