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.

Akaropafadzwa munhu asingafambi panorangana vakaipa, asingamiri panzira yavatadzi, asingagari pachigaro chavadadi.

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

Asi anofarira murayiro waJehovha, uye anofungisisa murayiro wake masikati nousiku.

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.

Akafanana nomuti wakasimwa pahova dzemvura, unobereka michero yawo nenguva yawo, uye mashizha awo haasvavi. Chinhu chipi nechipi chaanoita chinoendeka.

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

Vakaipa havana kudaro! Vakafanana nehundi inopepereswa nemhepo.

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

Naizvozvo vakaipa havangamiri pakutongwa, kana vatadzi paungano yavakarurama.

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

Nokuti Jehovha anotarira nzira yavakarurama, asi nzira yavakaipa ichaparadzwa.
