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.

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

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

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

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.

Ochalo gi yien mopidhi e bath aora, manyago olembe e kinde molemo chieke, kendo ma bedene ok ner. Gimoro amora motimo dhi maber.

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

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

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

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

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

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