< Zaburi 1 >
1 Nyasaye gwedho ngʼat ma ok lu pach joma richo, kata luwo yor joricho kata bedo e kom jojaro.
Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 To chik Jehova Nyasaye ema more, kendo osiko oparo kuom chikene odiechiengʼ gotieno.
But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 Ochalo gi yien mopidhi e bath aora, manyago olembe e kinde molemo chieke, kendo ma bedene ok ner. Gimoro amora motimo dhi maber.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 Joma timbegi richo to ok chal kamano kata matin! Gin gichalo gi mihudhi, ma yamo tero.
The ungodly [are] not so: but [are] like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Kuom mano joma timbegi richo ok nolo bura, adier, joricho ok nobedi e kanyakla mar joma kare,
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 nikech Jehova Nyasaye rango yor joma kare, to yor joma richo to biro kethore.
For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
