Psalmi 1

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

Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

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

but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night.

3 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.

He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

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

The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

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

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

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

For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
