1 Halang rhoek kah caemtuh dongah aka cet pawt tih, hlangtholh rhoek kah longpuei ah aka pai pawh, hmuiyoi rhoek kah tolrhum ah aka ngol pawt hlang te tah a yoethen.
Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.
2 Tedae BOEIPA kah olkhueng dongah a hlahmae tih khoyin khothaih olkhueng dongah aka thuep tah,
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law does he meditate day and night.
3 Sokca tui taengah a phung thingkung bangla a om dongah amah tue ah a thaih thaii tih, a hnah khaw hoo pawh. A saii boeih te khaw thaihtak.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper.
4 Halang rhoek tah te tlam pawt tih anih te cangkik bangla yilh loh lat a yawn.
The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5 Te dongah halang rhoek te laitloeknah dongah, hlangtholh rhoek tehlangdueng rhaengpuei taengah, tlai thai mahpawh.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 BOEIPA loh aka dueng rhoek kah longpuei te a ngaithuen dongah halang rhoek kah longpuei tah khoep bing ni.
For the LORD knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
