Psalms 1

1 “BOOK I” Happy the man who walketh not in the counsel of the unrighteous, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers;

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

2 But whose delight is in the law of the LORD, And who meditateth on his precepts day and night.

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

3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaves also do not wither: All that he doeth shall 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 the unrighteous; They are like chaff, which the wind driveth away.

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

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the just.

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

6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked leadeth to ruin.

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