Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of evil men.

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

2 But his pleasure is in the law of the Lord; and in his law will he meditate day and night.

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

3 And he shall be as a tree planted by the brooks of waters, which shall yield its fruit in its season, and its leaf shall not fall off; and whatever he shall do shall be prospered.

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 ungodly; —not so: but rather as the chaff which the wind scatters away from the face of the earth.

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

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not rise in judgement, nor sinners in the counsel of the just.

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

6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous; but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

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