Psalms 1

1 “BOOK I” Happy the man who walketh not in the counsel of the unrighteous, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers;

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 whose delight is in the law of the LORD, And who meditateth on his precepts day and 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 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaves also do not wither: All that he doeth shall 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 unrighteous; They are like chaff, which the wind driveth 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 shall not stand in judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the just.

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 the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked leadeth to ruin.

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.
