Psalms 1

1 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.

Wodala munthu amene satsatira uphungu wa anthu ochimwa, kapena kuyima mʼnjira ya anthu oyipa, kapena kukhala mʼmagulu a anthu onyoza.

2 But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night.

Koma chikondwerero chake chili mʼmalamulo a Yehova ndipo mʼmalamulo akewo amalingaliramo usana ndi usiku.

3 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.

Iye ali ngati mtengo wodzalidwa mʼmbali mwa mitsinje ya madzi, umene umabereka zipatso zake pa nyengo yake ndipo masamba ake safota. Chilichonse chimene amachita amapindula nacho.

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

Sizitero ndi anthu oyipa! Iwo ali ngati mungu umene umawuluzidwa ndi mphepo.

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

Kotero anthu oyipa sadzatha kuyima pa chiweruzo, kapena anthu ochimwa mu msonkhano wa anthu olungama.

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

Pakuti Yehova amayangʼanira mayendedwe a anthu olungama, koma mayendedwe a anthu oyipa adzawonongeka.
