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;

Akaropafadzwa munhu asingafambi panorangana vakaipa, asingamiri panzira yavatadzi, asingagari pachigaro chavadadi.

2 But his delight is in Jehovah's law, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Asi anofarira murayiro waJehovha, uye anofungisisa murayiro wake masikati nousiku.

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.

Akafanana nomuti wakasimwa pahova dzemvura, unobereka michero yawo nenguva yawo, uye mashizha awo haasvavi. Chinhu chipi nechipi chaanoita chinoendeka.

4 The wicked are not so; but are as the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Vakaipa havana kudaro! Vakafanana nehundi inopepereswa nemhepo.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

Naizvozvo vakaipa havangamiri pakutongwa, kana vatadzi paungano yavakarurama.

6 For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

Nokuti Jehovha anotarira nzira yavakarurama, asi nzira yavakaipa ichaparadzwa.
