< 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.
MEID pai ol o, me jota alialu ni padak en me doo jan Kot akan o me jo duki on me dipan akan, o me jo mondi ren me malaun akan,
2 But his pleasure is in the law of the Lord; and in his law will he meditate day and night.
A me kin peren kida kapun en leowa o madamadaua duen a kapun ni ran o ni pon!
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.
A rajon tuka pot, me padedier ni kailan pilap akan me kin kapareda wa ni a anjau, o ta kan jota kin monala, a karoj a wiawia pwaida.
4 Not so the ungodly; —not so: but rather as the chaff which the wind scatters away from the face of the earth.
Me doo jan Kot akan jota kin dueta, a re rajon dip me an kin iririp jili.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not rise in judgement, nor sinners in the counsel of the just.
I me doo jan Kot akan jota pan pwai kida nan kadeik, o me dipan akan nan momod en me pun kan.
6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous; but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Pwe leowa kotin mani al en me pun kan; a al en ir, me doo jan Kot akan, pan joredi.
