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:

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

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

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

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.

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 as the chaffe, which the winde driueth away.

Vakaipa havana kudaro! Vakafanana nehundi inopepereswa nemhepo.

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

Naizvozvo vakaipa havangamiri pakutongwa, kana vatadzi paungano yavakarurama.

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

Nokuti Jehovha anotarira nzira yavakarurama, asi nzira yavakaipa ichaparadzwa.
