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.

Happy are those who don't follow the advice of the wicked. They refuse to adopt the ways of sinful people, and they don't make fun of others.

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.

Instead they love to do what the law of the Lord says, and they think about it 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.

They're like trees growing by flowing rivers, producing fruit every season. Their leaves never wither, and they are successful in all they do.

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

But it's not like that for the wicked! They are like chaff, blown away by the wind.

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

For this reason the wicked will not survive the judgment—sinners have no place among those who live right.

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 watches over those who follow the right way, but the way of the wicked leads to death.
