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 counsel of the wicked, or set foot on the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers.

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 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 is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does.

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

Not so the wicked! For they are like chaff driven off by the wind.

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

Therefore 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 the LORD guards the path of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
