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.

Sambatra ny olona izay tsy mandeha eo amin’ ny fisainan’ ny ratsy fanahy, ary tsy mijanona eo amin’ ny lalana falehan’ ny mpanota, ary tsy mipetraka eo amin’ ny fipetrahan’ ny mpaniratsira;

2 But his delight is in the law of YHWH, and on his law he meditates day and night.

Fa ny lalàn’ i Jehovah no sitrany; eny ny lalàny no saintsaininy andro aman’ alina.

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.

Dia tahaka ny hazo ambolena eo amoron’ ny rano velona izy, izay mamoa amin’ ny fotoany, ny raviny koa tsy mba malazo; ary ny asany rehetra dia ataony lavorary avokoa.

4 Not so with the wicked; instead, they are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

Fa tsy mba toy izany ny ratsy fanahy fa toy ny akofa aelin’ ny rivotra izy.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

Ary noho izany ny ratsy fanahy dia tsy hahajanona eo amin’ ny fitsarana, na ny mpanota eo amin’ ny fiangonan’ ny marina.

6 For YHWH knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

Fa fantatr’ i Jehovah ny lalan’ ny marina, fa ny lalan’ ny ratsy fanahy kosa dia mankany amin’ ny fahaverezana.
