Psalms 1

1 [God] is pleased with those who do not do what [MET] wicked people advise them to do, and who do not imitate the behavior of [MET] sinful people, and who do not join in with people who (ridicule/sneer at) [God].

Blagoslovljen je človek, ki ne hodi po nasvetu brezbožnih niti ne stoji na poti grešnikov niti ne poseda na sedežu posmehljivcev.

2 Those whom God is pleased with delight in doing the things that he has instructed/taught us to do. They read and think about Yahweh’s requirements, day and night.

Temveč je njegovo veselje v Gospodovi postavi in o njegovi postavi premišljuje podnevi in ponoči.

3 They [constantly produce/do things that please God] just like fruit trees that have been planted along the banks of a stream produce fruit at the right time every year. [Like] trees that never wither, they succeed in everything that they do.

On bo kakor drevo, posajeno ob rekah vodá, ki prinaša svoj sad ob svojem času. Prav tako njegovo listje ne bo ovenelo in karkoli dela, bo uspelo.

4 But wicked people are not like that! Wicked people are [as worthless as] chaff that is blown away by the wind.

Brezbožni niso takšni, temveč so kakor pleve, ki jih veter odnaša.

5 Therefore, wicked people (will not be acquitted/will be condemned) [LIT] when [God] judges people, and furthermore, sinful people will not even be present when [God] gathers righteous people together,

Zato brezbožni ne bodo obstali na sodbi niti grešniki v skupnosti pravičnih.

6 because he guides and protects righteous people, but the path that the wicked walk on leads them to where they will be destroyed/punished [by God forever].

Kajti Gospod pozna pot pravičnih, toda pot brezbožnih bo izginila.
