< Psalms 1 >
1 Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits 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 does 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 the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does 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 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
Mechan yo pa konsa. Yo tankou pay ke van an pouse ale.
5 Therefore the ungodly 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 knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Paske SENYÈ a konnen chemen a (sila) ki dwat yo, men chemen a mechan yo va disparèt.
