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 scoffers.

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 its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not wither; and whatever 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.
