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.

Nhyira ne onipa a ɔntie amumuyɛfoɔ afotuo na ɔnni nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nhwɛsoɔ akyi na ɔntena fɛdifoɔ tenabea.

2 But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and whose mind is on his law day and night.

Na mmom, Awurade mmara sɔ nʼani, na ɔdwene ho awia ne anadwo.

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.

Ɔte sɛ dua a wɔatɛ wɔ asutene ho, na ɛso nʼaba ne berɛ mu a nʼahahan no nnwan. Deɛ ɔyɛ biara yɛ yie.

4 The evil-doers are not so; but are like the dust from the grain, which the wind takes away.

Nanso nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nte saa; wɔte sɛ ntɛtɛ a mframa bɔ guo.

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,

Enti amumuyɛfoɔ rentumi nnyina atemmuo no ano, na nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nso rentena teneneefoɔ asafo mu.

6 Because the Lord sees the way of the upright, but the end of the sinner is destruction.

Ɛfiri sɛ Awurade kyerɛ ɔteneneeni kwan nanso amumuyɛfoɔ kwan deɛ, ɛbɛyera.
