Zaburi 1

1 Nyasaye gwedho ngʼat ma ok lu pach joma richo, kata luwo yor joricho kata bedo e kom jojaro.

O the blessedness of that one, Who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, And has not stood in the way of sinners, And has not sat in the seat of scorners;

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

But his delight [is] in the Law of YHWH, And in His law he meditates by day and by 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 has been as a tree, Planted by streams of water, That gives its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither, And all that he does he causes to prosper.

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

Not so the wicked: But [they are] as chaff that wind drives away!

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

Therefore the wicked do not rise in 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 YHWH is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!
