Psalms 1

1 BOOK I HAPPY IS the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seat of the scornful.

Beni se nonm ki pa mache nan konsèy mechan yo ni kanpe nan pa pechè yo, ni chita nan chèz mokè yo,

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in His law doth he meditate day and night.

men gran plezi li se nan lalwa SENYÈ a. Sou lalwa Li, li reflechi lajounen kon lannwit.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by streams of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf doth not wither; and in whatsoever he doeth he shall prosper.

Li va tankou yon pyebwa ki plante bò kote flèv dlo ki bay fwi li nan sezon li. Fèy li p ap janm fane, e tout sa li fè byen reyisi.

4 Not so the wicked; but they are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Mechan yo pa konsa. Yo tankou pay ke van an pouse ale.

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

Pou sa, mechan yo p ap kanpe nan chèz jijman an, ni pechè yo nan asanble ak moun dwat yo.

6 For the LORD regardeth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked shall perish.

Paske SENYÈ a konnen chemen a (sila) ki dwat yo, men chemen a mechan yo va disparèt.
