Tingtoeng 1

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 one who doesn't follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path of sinners, or join in with scoffers.

2 Tedae BOEIPA kah olkhueng dongah a hlahmae tih khoyin khothaih olkhueng dongah aka thuep tah,

But his delight is in the law of YHWH, and on his law he meditates 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.

He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither, and whatever he does shall prosper.

4 Halang rhoek tah te tlam pawt tih anih te cangkik bangla yilh loh lat a yawn.

Not so with the wicked; instead, they are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

5 Te dongah halang rhoek te laitloeknah dongah, hlangtholh rhoek te hlangdueng rhaengpuei taengah, tlai thai mahpawh.

Therefore the wicked 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 YHWH knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
