Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence.

Ala bon sa bon pou moun ki pa koute konsèy mechan yo, ki pa swiv egzanp moun k'ap fè sa ki mal, ki pa chita ansanm ak moun k'ap pase Bondye nan betiz,

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

men ki pran tout plezi l' nan lalwa Seyè a, k'ap repase l' nan tèt li lajounen kou lannwit.

3 And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.

Li tankou yon pyebwa yo plante bò kannal dlo: Li donnen lè sezon l' rive. Fèy li p'ap janm fennen. Tou sa l' fè soti byen.

4 Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.

Men, se p'ap menm bagay pou mechan yo. Yo tankou pay van an ap gaye.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council of the just.

Se poutèt sa, jou jijman an, mechan yo p'ap ka leve tèt yo devan Bondye, moun ki fè mal yo p'ap chita ansanm ak moun ki fè byen yo.

6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish.

Paske, Seyè a konnen jan moun ki fè byen yo ap viv. Men, jan mechan yo ap viv la, yo gen pou yo fini mal.
