Psalms 1

1 How happy the man, who hath not walked in the counsel of the lawless, —and, in the way of sinners, hath not stood, and, in the seat of scoffers, hath not sat;

Blagor možu, ki ne hodi po sovetu krivičnih in ne stopa na grešnikov pot ter ne sedeva v zboru zasmehovalcev;

2 But, in the law of Yahweh, is his delight, —and, in his law, doth he talk with himself day and night.

Nego veselje njegovo je v postavi Gospodovi, in postavo njegovo premišljuje noč in dan.

3 So doth he become like a tree planted by streams of waters, —that yieldeth, its fruit, in its season, whose leaf, also doth not wither, and, whatsoever he doeth, prospereth.

Je namreč kakor drevo zasajeno ob vodnih potocih, katero sad svoj rodi o svojem času, in listje njegovo ne odpada: zatorej karkoli bode počel, posrečilo se mu bode.

4 Not so, the lawless, —but as chaff which is driven about by the wind:

Ne tako krivični; nego kakor pleve, katere veter raznaša.

5 For this cause, shall the lawless not stand in the judgment, —nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

Zatorej ne ostanejo krivični v óni sodbi; ne grešniki v zboru pravičnih.

6 For Yahweh doth acknowledge the way of the righteous; but, the way of the lawless, shall vanish.

Ker Gospod pozna pravičnih pot; pot pa krivičnih izgine.
