< Psalms 1 >
1 O the blessedness of that one, Who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, And has not stood in the way of sinners, And has not sat in the seat of scorners;
POMAIKAI ke kanaka i hele ole ma ke aoia o ka poe aia. I ku ole hoi ma ka aoao o ka poe hewa, I noho ole hoi ma ka noho o ka poe haakei.
2 But his delight [is] in the Law of YHWH, And in His law he meditates by day and by night:
Aka, ma ke kanawai o Iehova kona olioli; A ma kona kanawai oia i manao ai i ke ao a me ka po.
3 And he has been as a tree, Planted by streams of water, That gives its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither, And all that he does he causes to prosper.
E like no ia me ka laau i kanuia ma na kahawai, I hoohua mai i kona hua i kona manawa; A o kona lau hoi aole e mae; A o kona mea e hana'i e pono ana no ia.
4 Not so the wicked: But [they are] as chaff that wind drives away!
Aole hoi e like me neia ka poe aia; Aka, ua like ia me ka opala i puehu i ka makani.
5 Therefore the wicked do not rise in judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous,
Nolaila, aole e ku ana ka poe aia ma ka hookolokolo ana, Aole hoi ka poe hewa iloko o ka ka poe pono anaina.
6 For YHWH is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!
No ka mea, ua ike mai la o Iehova i ka aoao o ka poe maikai; Aka hoi, o ka aoao o ka poe hewa, e make ana no ia.
