La Bu 1

1 Migiloute thuhil jom louva, michonse ho lamlhah dunga jong dingle lou; chule Elohim Pathen ginglou ho kikhop na dunga jong tou khompi lou mi chu anun nom ahi.

“BOOK I” Happy the man who walketh not in the counsel of the unrighteous, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers;

2 Hitobang mihochun Yahweh Pakai Dan thu a bou lunglhai na aneiyun, Yahweh Pakai Dan thu chu sun le jan in angaito jing jeng ui.

But whose delight is in the law of the LORD, And who meditateth on his precepts day and night.

3 Hitobang mi hochu twi lonna luipanga kiphut, aphat cha hung gaji adojong gopjilou thingphung tobang ahi; hitobang miho jong chu atohna lam lam'uva alolhing jiuve.

He is like a tree planted by streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaves also do not wither: All that he doeth shall prosper.

4 Yahweh Pakai ginglouho vang chutobang ahipoi: huilhoh mangle changvai tobangbep ahiuve.

Not so the unrighteous; They are like chaff, which the wind driveth away.

5 Hijeh a chu Yahweh Pakai gingloute chu thutan nikho tengleh themmo changdiu, michonse hon jong mikitah ho lah'a mun aneiloudiu ahi.

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the just.

6 Ajeh chu Yahweh Pakai in michonpha ho lamlhah ahetpeh jing in, Yahweh Pakai ginglou ho lampi vang manthahna'a lut diu ahi.

For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked leadeth to ruin.
