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.

Amebarikiwa mtu yule asiye enenda katika ushauri wa waovu, au kusimama katika njia ya wenye dhambi, au kukaa katika kusanyiko la wenye mizaha.

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

Bali yeye huifurahia sheria ya Yahwe, na huitafakari sheria yake mchana na 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.

Atakuwa kama mti uliopandwa karibu na mkondo wa maji ambao huzaa matunda yake kwa majira yake, ambao majani yake hayakauki; lolote afanyalo litafanikiwa.

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

Waovu hawako hivyo, wao badala yake ni kama makapi yapeperushwayo na upepo.

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

Kwa hivyo waovu hawatasimama katika hukumu, wala wenye dhambi katika kusanyiko la wenye haki.

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

Kwa kuwa Yahweh huikubali njia ya wenye haki, njia ya waovu itaangamizwa.
