Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man that doeth not walke in the counsell of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in ye seate of the scornefull:

Nhyira ne onipa a ɔntie amumuyɛfoɔ afotuo na ɔnni nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nhwɛsoɔ akyi na ɔntena fɛdifoɔ tenabea.

2 But his delite is in the Lawe of the Lord, and in his Lawe doeth he meditate day and night.

Na mmom, Awurade mmara sɔ nʼani, na ɔdwene ho awia ne anadwo.

3 For he shall be like a tree planted by the riuers of waters, that will bring foorth her fruite in due season: whose leafe shall not fade: so whatsoeuer he shall doe, shall prosper.

Ɔte sɛ dua a wɔatɛ wɔ asutene ho, na ɛso nʼaba ne berɛ mu a nʼahahan no nnwan. Deɛ ɔyɛ biara yɛ yie.

4 The wicked are not so, but as the chaffe, which the winde driueth away.

Nanso nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nte saa; wɔte sɛ ntɛtɛ a mframa bɔ guo.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stande in the iudgement, nor sinners in the assemblie of the righteous.

Enti amumuyɛfoɔ rentumi nnyina atemmuo no ano, na nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nso rentena teneneefoɔ asafo mu.

6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked shall perish.

Ɛfiri sɛ Awurade kyerɛ ɔteneneeni kwan nanso amumuyɛfoɔ kwan deɛ, ɛbɛyera.
