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.

Woayra ame si mezɔna ɖe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe aɖaŋuɖoɖo nu alo nɔa tsitre ɖe nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo ƒe mɔ dzi loo alo nɔa anyi ɖe fewuɖulawo dome o,

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

ke boŋ ekpɔa dzidzɔ le Yehowa ƒe se la ŋu, eye wòdea ŋugble le eŋu zã kple keli.

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.

Eya amea ɖi ati si wodo ɖe tɔʋuwo to, esi tsea ku le etseɣi, melũa xe o, eye nu sia nu si wòwɔna la, edzea edzi nyuie.

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

Mele alea na ame vɔ̃ɖi ya o! Wole abe blitsro si ya ƒona dzonae la ene.

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

Eya ta ame vɔ̃ɖi manɔ te le ʋɔnudrɔ̃gbe, alo nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo nanɔ ame dzɔdzɔewo ƒe ha me o.

6 For the Lord knows the way of the just. And the path of the impious will pass away.

Elabena Yehowa kpɔa ame dzɔdzɔewo ƒe mɔ ta, ke ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe mɔ atsrɔ̃ gbidii.
