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.

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 his pleasure is in the law of the Lord; and in his law will he meditate 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 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.

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

Ma ndị ajọ omume adịghị otu a. Ha dị ka igbugbo ọka nke oke ifufe na-efesasị.

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

Ya mere, ndị ajọ omume agaghị eguzosi ike nʼụbọchị ikpe; ndị mmehie agaghị eguzokwa na nzukọ ndị ezi omume.

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

Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị na-eche ụzọ ndị ezi omume nche. Ma ụzọ ndị ajọ omume ga-eduba ha nʼịla nʼiyi.
