< Zaburi 1 >

1 Nyasaye gwedho ngʼat ma ok lu pach joma richo, kata luwo yor joricho kata bedo e kom jojaro.
“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 To chik Jehova Nyasaye ema more, kendo osiko oparo kuom chikene odiechiengʼ gotieno.
But whose delight is in the law of the LORD, And who meditateth on his precepts 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.
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 Joma timbegi richo to ok chal kamano kata matin! Gin gichalo gi mihudhi, ma yamo tero.
Not so the unrighteous; They are like 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 wicked shall not stand in judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the just.
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 wicked leadeth to ruin.
