< Psalms 1 >
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, and standeth not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the seat of scorners;
Nhyira ne onipa a ontie amumɔyɛfo afotu na onni nnebɔneyɛfo nhwɛso akyi na ɔntena fɛwdifo tenabea.
2 But his delight is in Jehovah's law, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
Na mmom, Awurade mmara sɔ nʼani, na osusuw ho awia ne anadwo.
3 And he [is] as a tree planted by brooks of water, which giveth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf fadeth not; and all that he doeth prospereth.
Ɔte sɛ dua a wɔatɛw wɔ asuten ho, na ɛsow nʼaba ne bere mu a nʼahaban no nguan da. Nea ɔyɛ biara yɛ yiye.
4 The wicked are not so; but are as the chaff which the wind driveth away.
Nanso nnebɔneyɛfo nte saa; wɔte sɛ ntɛtɛ a mframa bɔ gu.
5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
Enti amumɔyɛfo rentumi nnyina atemmu no ano, na nnebɔneyɛfo nso rentena atreneefo asafo mu.
6 For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
Efisɛ Awurade kyerɛ ɔtreneeni kwan nanso amumɔyɛfo kwan de, ɛbɛyera.
