Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of evil men.

Ìbùkún ni fún ọkùnrin náà, tí kò rìn ní ìmọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn búburú, ti kò dúró ní ọ̀nà àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀, tàbí tí kò sì jókòó ní ibùjókòó àwọn ẹlẹ́gàn.

2 But his pleasure is in the law of the Lord; and in his law will he meditate day and night.

Ṣùgbọ́n ayọ̀ inú rẹ̀ wà nínú òfin Olúwa àti nínú òfin rẹ̀ ni ó ń ṣe àṣàrò ní ọ̀sán àti òru.

3 And he shall be as a tree planted by the brooks of waters, which shall yield its fruit in its season, and its leaf shall not fall off; and whatever he shall do shall be prospered.

Ó dàbí igi tí a gbìn sí etí odò tí ń sàn, tí ń so èso rẹ̀ jáde ní àkókò rẹ̀ tí ewé rẹ̀ kì yóò rẹ̀. Ohunkóhun tí ó dáwọ́lé, ni yóò máa yọrí sí rere.

4 Not so the ungodly; —not so: but rather as the chaff which the wind scatters away from the face of the earth.

Kò le rí bẹ́ẹ̀ fún àwọn ènìyàn búburú! Wọn yóò dàbí ìyàngbò ọkà tí afẹ́fẹ́ ń fẹ́ dànù.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not rise in judgment, nor sinners in the counsel of the just.

Nítorí náà àwọn ènìyàn búburú kì yóò le è dìde dúró ní ìdájọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ kì yóò le è dúró ní àwùjọ àwọn olódodo.

6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous; but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Nítorí Olúwa ń ṣọ́ ọ̀nà àwọn olódodo, ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀nà àwọn ènìyàn búburú ni yóò ṣègbé.
