Psalms 1 — 4 originals side by side

Versification differs between traditions. Columns are aligned by verse number; where a text has no such verse the cell is left blank rather than forced into line. Tap any word for a gloss.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.

1:1
אַ֥שְֽׁרֵי־הָאִ֗ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֤ר׀ לֹ֥א הָלַךְ֮ בַּעֲצַ֢ת רְשָׁ֫עִ֥ים וּבְדֶ֣רֶךְ חַ֭טָּאִים לֹ֥א עָמָ֑ד וּבְמוֹשַׁ֥ב לֵ֝צִ֗ים לֹ֣א יָשָֽׁב׃
μακάριος ἀνήρ ὃς οὐκ ἐπορεύθη ἐν βουλῇ ἀσεβῶν καὶ ἐν ὁδῷ ἁμαρτωλῶν οὐκ ἔστη καὶ ἐπὶ καθέδραν λοιμῶν οὐκ ἐκάθισεν
Beatus vir qui non abiit in consilio impiorum, et in via peccatorum non stetit, et in cathedra pestilentiae non sedit ;
ፍካሬ ፡ ዘጻድቃን ፡ ወዘኃጥኣን ፤ መዝሙር ፡ ዘዳዊት ፡ ሀሌሉያ ። ብፁዕ ፡ ብእሲ ፡ ዘኢሖረ ፡ በምክረ ፡ ረሲዓን ፤ ወዘኢቆመ ፡ ውስተ ፡ ፍኖተ ፡ ኃጥኣን ፤ ወዘኢነበረ ፡ ውስተ ፡ መንበረ ፡ መስተሳልቃን ።
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;
1:2
כִּ֤י אִ֥ם־בְּתוֹרַ֥ת יְהֹוָ֗ה חֶ֫פְצ֥וֹ וּֽבְתוֹרָת֥וֹ יֶהְגֶּ֗ה יוֹמָ֥ם וָלָֽיְלָה׃
ἀλλ’ ἢ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ κυρίου τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ αὐτοῦ μελετήσει ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτός
sed in lege Domini voluntas ejus, et in lege ejus meditabitur die ac nocte.
ዘዳእሙ ፡ ሕገ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ሥምረቱ ፤ ወዘሕጎ ፡ ያነብብ ፡ መዕልተ ፡ ወሌሊተ ።
but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night.
1:3
וְֽהָיָ֗ה כְּעֵץ֮ שָׁת֢וּל עַֽל־פַּלְגֵ֫י־מָ֥יִם אֲשֶׁ֤ר פִּרְי֨וֹ׀ יִתֵּ֬ן בְּעִתּ֗וֹ וְעָלֵ֥הוּ לֹֽא־יִבּ֑וֹל וְכֹ֖ל אֲשֶׁר־יַעֲשֶׂ֣ה יַצְלִֽיחַ׃
καὶ ἔσται ὡς τὸ ξύλον τὸ πεφυτευμένον παρὰ τὰς διεξόδους τῶν ὑδάτων ὃ τὸν καρπὸν αὐτοῦ δώσει ἐν καιρῷ αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ φύλλον αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἀπορρυήσεται καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἂν ποιῇ κατευοδωθήσεται
Et erit tamquam lignum quod plantatum est secus decursus aquarum, quod fructum suum dabit in tempore suo : et folium ejus non defluet ; et omnia quaecumque faciet prosperabuntur.
ወየከውን ፡ ከመ ፡ ዕፅ ፡ እንተ ፡ ትክልት ፡ ኀበ ፡ ሙሓዘ ፡ ማይ ፤ እንተ ፡ ትሁብ ፡ ፍሬሃ ፡ በበጊዜሃ ።
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.
1:4
לֹא־כֵ֥ן הָרְשָׁעִ֑ים כִּ֥י אִם־כַּ֝מֹּ֗ץ אֲֽשֶׁר־תִּדְּפֶ֥נּוּ רֽוּחַ׃
οὐχ οὕτως οἱ ἀσεβεῖς οὐχ οὕτως ἀλλ’ ἢ ὡς ὁ χνοῦς ὃν ἐκριπτεῖ ὁ ἄνεμος ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς γῆς
Non sic impii, non sic ; sed tamquam pulvis quem projicit ventus a facie terrae.
ወቈጽላኒ ፡ ኢይትነገፍ ፤ ወኵሎ ፡ ዘገብረ ፡ ይፌጽም ።
The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
1:5
עַל־כֵּ֤ן׀ לֹא־יָקֻ֣מוּ רְ֭שָׁעִים בַּמִּשְׁפָּ֑ט וְ֝חַטָּאִ֗ים בַּעֲדַ֥ת צַדִּיקִֽים׃
διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἀναστήσονται ἀσεβεῖς ἐν κρίσει οὐδὲ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἐν βουλῇ δικαίων
Ideo non resurgent impii in judicio, neque peccatores in concilio justorum :
አኮ ፡ ከመዝ ፡ ኃጥኣንሰ ፡ አኮ ፡ ከመዝ ፤ ዳእሙ ፡ ከመ ፡ መሬት ፡ ዘይግሕፍ ፡ ነፍስ ፡ እምገጸ ፡ ምድር ።
Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
1:6
כִּֽי־יוֹדֵ֣עַ יְ֭הֹוָה דֶּ֣רֶךְ צַדִּיקִ֑ים וְדֶ֖רֶךְ רְשָׁעִ֣ים תֹּאבֵֽד׃ {פ}
ὅτι γινώσκει κύριος ὁδὸν δικαίων καὶ ὁδὸς ἀσεβῶν ἀπολεῖται
quoniam novit Dominus viam justorum, et iter impiorum peribit.
ወበእንተዝ ፡ ኢይትነሥኡ ፡ ረሲዓን ፡ እምደይን ፤ ወኢኃጥኣን ፡ ውስተ ፡ ምክረ ፡ ጻድቃን ። እስመ ፡ ያአምር ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ፍኖቶሙ ፡ ለጻድቃን ፤ ወፍኖቶሙ ፡ ለኃጥኣን ፡ ትጠፍእ ።
For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
