Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who has not followed the counsel of the impious, and has not remained in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the chair of pestilence.

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

2 But his will is with the law of the Lord, and he will meditate on his law, day and night.

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

3 And he will be like a tree that has been planted beside running waters, which will provide its fruit in its time, and its leaf will not fall away, and all things whatsoever that he does will prosper.

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 impious, not so. For they are like the dust that the wind casts along the face of the earth.

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

5 Therefore, the impious will not prevail again in judgment, nor sinners in the council 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 just. And the path of the impious will pass away.

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