Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of evil men.

Blago čovjeku koji ne slijedi savjeta opakih, ne staje na putu grešničkom i ne sjeda u zbor podrugljivaca,

2 But his pleasure is in the law of the Lord; and in his law will he meditate day and night.

već uživa u Zakonu Jahvinu, o Zakonu njegovu misli dan i noć.

3 And he shall be as a tree planted by the brooks of waters, which shall yield its fruit in its season, and its leaf shall not fall off; and whatsoever he shall do shall be prospered.

On je k'o stablo zasađeno pokraj voda tekućica što u svoje vrijeme plod donosi; lišće mu nikad ne vene, sve što radi dobrim urodi.

4 Not so the ungodly; —not so: but rather as the chaff which the wind scatters away from the face of the earth.

Nisu takvi opaki, ne, nisu takvi! Oni su k'o pljeva što je vjetar raznosi.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not rise in judgment, nor sinners in the counsel of the just.

Stoga se opaki neće održati na sudu, ni grešnici u zajednici pravednih.

6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous; but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Jer Jahve zna put pravednih, a propast će put opakih.
