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;

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 delight [is] in the Law of YHWH, And in His law he meditates by day and by 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 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.

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 wicked: But [they are] as chaff that wind drives away!

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

5 Therefore the wicked do not rise in judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous,

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 YHWH is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!

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