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 who does not walk in the advice of the wicked, or stand in the pathway with sinners, or sit in the assembly of mockers.

2 To chik Jehova Nyasaye ema more, kendo osiko oparo kuom chikene odiechiengʼ gotieno.

But his delight is in the law of Yahweh, and on his law he meditates 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 will be like a tree planted by the streams of water that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaves do not wither; whatever he does will prosper.

4 Joma timbegi richo to ok chal kamano kata matin! Gin gichalo gi mihudhi, ma yamo tero.

The wicked are not so, but are instead like the chaff that the wind drives away.

5 Kuom mano joma timbegi richo ok nolo bura, adier, joricho ok nobedi e kanyakla mar joma kare,

So the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 nikech Jehova Nyasaye rango yor joma kare, to yor joma richo to biro kethore.

For Yahweh approves of the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
