< Psalms 1 >
1 BOOK FIRST: Happy is the man who walketh not in the council of the wicked, and standeth not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the seat of scorners;
MEID pai ol o, me sota alialu ni padak en me doo sang Kot akan, o me so duki ong me dipan akan, o me so mondi ren me malaun akan,
2 But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who doth meditate in his law by day and night.
A me kin peren kida kapung en Ieowa o madamadaua duen a kapung ni ran o ni pong!
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by rivulets of water, that yieldeth its fruit in its season, and the leaf of which doth not wither; and all that he may do shall prosper.
A rasong tuka pot, me padedier ni kailan pilap akan, me kin kapareda wa ni a ansau, o ta kan sota kin mongala, a karos a wiawia pwaida.
4 Not so the wicked; but they are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
Me doo sang Kot akan sota kin dueta, a re rasong dip me ang kin iririp sili.
5 Therefore shall the wicked not be able to stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
I me doo sang Kot akan sota pan pwai kida nan kadeik, o me dipan akan nan momod en me pung kan.
6 For the Lord regardeth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked leadeth to perdition.
Pwe Ieowa kotin mangi al en me pung kan; a al en ir, me doo sang Kot akan, pan soredi.
