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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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