Psalms 1

1 Happy are those who do not follow the counsel of the wicked, not halting in ways frequented by sinners, nor taking a seat in a gathering of scoffers.

Blagoslovljen je človek, ki ne hodi po nasvetu brezbožnih niti ne stoji na poti grešnikov niti ne poseda na sedežu posmehljivcev.

2 But the law of the Lord is their joy, they study it day and night.

Temveč je njegovo veselje v Gospodovi postavi in o njegovi postavi premišljuje podnevi in ponoči.

3 They are like trees planted by runlets of water, yielding fruit in due season, leaves never fading. In all that they do, they prosper.

On bo kakor drevo, posajeno ob rekah vodá, ki prinaša svoj sad ob svojem času. Prav tako njegovo listje ne bo ovenelo in karkoli dela, bo uspelo.

4 Not so fare the wicked, not so; like chaff are they, blown by the wind.

Brezbožni niso takšni, temveč so kakor pleve, ki jih veter odnaša.

5 So the wicked will not stand firm in the judgment, nor sinners appear, when the righteous are gathered.

Zato brezbožni ne bodo obstali na sodbi niti grešniki v skupnosti pravičnih.

6 For the way of the righteous is dear to the Lord, but the way of the wicked will end in ruin.

Kajti Gospod pozna pot pravičnih, toda pot brezbožnih bo izginila.
