Psalms 1

1 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;

١ طُوبَى لِلإِنْسَانِ الَّذِي لاَ يَتْبَعُ مَشُورَةَ الأَشْرَارِ، ولاَ يَقِفُ فِي طَرِيقِ الْخَاطِئِينَ، وَلاَ يُجَالِسُ الْمُسْتَهْزِئِينَ.

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

٢ بَلْ فِي شَرِيعَةِ الرَّبِّ بَهْجَتُهُ، يَتَأَمَّلُ فِيهَا نَهَاراً وَلَيْلاً.

3 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.

٣ فَيَكُونُ كَشَجَرَةٍ مَغْرُوسَةٍ عِنْدَ مَجَارِي الْمِيَاهِ، تُعْطِي ثَمَرَهَا فِي حِينِهِ، وَوَرَقُهَا لاَ يَذْبُلُ، وَكُلُّ مَا يَصْنَعُهُ يُفْلِحُ.

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

٤ لَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ حَالُ الأَشْرَارِ، بَلْ إنَّهُمْ مِثْلُ التِّبْنِ الَّذِي تُبَدِّدُهُ الرِّيحُ.

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

٥ لِذَلِكَ لاَ تَقُومُ لَهُمْ قَائِمَةٌ فِي يَوْمِ الْقَضَاءِ، وَلاَ يَكُونُ لِلْخُطَاةِ مَكَانٌ بَيْنَ جَمَاعَةِ الأَبْرَارِ،

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

٦ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَحْفَظُ طَرِيقَ الأَبْرَارِ، أَمَّا طَرِيقُ الأَشْرَارِ فَمَصِيرُهَا الهَلاَكُ.
