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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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