< Psalms 1 >
1 Happy is the man who does not go in the company of sinners, or take his place in the way of evil-doers, or in the seat of those who do not give honour to the Lord.
Onye ihe na-agara nke ọma ka mmadụ ahụ bụ, onye na-adịghị aga ije na ndụmọdụ ndị na-emebi iwu; onye na-adịghị eguzokwa nʼụzọ ndị mmehie maọbụ soro nʼotu ndị nkwutọ.
2 But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and whose mind is on his law day and night.
Kama ihe na-atọ ya ụtọ bụ ime ihe niile dị nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị. Ọ na-atụgharịkwa uche ya nʼiwu Onyenwe anyị ehihie na abalị,
3 He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, which gives its fruit at the right time, whose leaves will ever be green; and he will do well in all his undertakings.
Ọ dị ka osisi a kụrụ nʼakụkụ iyi, nke na-amịpụta mkpụrụ ya nʼoge ya, nke ahịhịa ya na-adịghị akpọnwụ akpọnwụ. Ihe niile ọ na-eme na-agara ya nke ọma.
4 The evil-doers are not so; but are like the dust from the grain, which the wind takes away.
Ma ndị ajọ omume adịghị otu a. Ha dị ka igbugbo ọka nke oke ifufe na-efesasị.
5 For this cause there will be no mercy for sinners when they are judged, and the evil-doers will have no place among the upright,
Ya mere, ndị ajọ omume agaghị eguzosi ike nʼụbọchị ikpe; ndị mmehie agaghị eguzokwa na nzukọ ndị ezi omume.
6 Because the Lord sees the way of the upright, but the end of the sinner is destruction.
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị na-eche ụzọ ndị ezi omume nche. Ma ụzọ ndị ajọ omume ga-eduba ha nʼịla nʼiyi.
