Psalmi 1

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

O the blessedness of that one, Who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, And has not stood in the way of sinners, And has not sat in the seat of scorners;

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

But his delight [is] in the Law of YHWH, And in His law he meditates by day and by 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.

And he has been as a tree, Planted by streams of water, That gives its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither, And all that he does he causes to prosper.

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

Not so the wicked: But [they are] as chaff that wind drives away!

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

Therefore the wicked do not rise in judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous,

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

For YHWH is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!
