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.

Nyasaye gwedho ngʼat ma ok lu pach joma richo, kata luwo yor joricho kata bedo e kom jojaro.

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

To chik Jehova Nyasaye ema more, kendo osiko oparo kuom chikene odiechiengʼ gotieno.

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.

Ochalo gi yien mopidhi e bath aora, manyago olembe e kinde molemo chieke, kendo ma bedene ok ner. Gimoro amora motimo dhi maber.

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

Joma timbegi richo to ok chal kamano kata matin! Gin gichalo gi mihudhi, ma yamo tero.

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

Kuom mano joma timbegi richo ok nolo bura, adier, joricho ok nobedi e kanyakla mar joma kare,

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

nikech Jehova Nyasaye rango yor joma kare, to yor joma richo to biro kethore.
