Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the one who doesn't follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path of sinners, or join in with scoffers.

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 YHWH, and on his law he meditates day and night.

men gran plezi li se nan lalwa SENYÈ a. Sou lalwa Li, li reflechi lajounen kon lannwit.

3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does 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 Not so with the wicked; instead, they are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

Mechan yo pa konsa. Yo tankou pay ke van an pouse ale.

5 Therefore the wicked 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 YHWH knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

Paske SENYÈ a konnen chemen a (sila) ki dwat yo, men chemen a mechan yo va disparèt.
