Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of people who sin ·intentionally miss the mark goal·, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

‌ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻoku ʻikai ʻeveʻeva ʻi he fakakaukau ʻae angakovi, pe tuʻu ʻi he hala ʻoe kau angahala, pe nofo ʻi he nofoʻa ʻoe manuki.

2 but his delight is in Adonai’s Torah ·Teaching·. On his torot ·teachings· he meditates day and night.

Ka ko ʻene fiefia ʻoku ʻi he fono ʻa Sihova; pea ko ʻene fono ʻoku ne fakalaulauloto ai ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō.

3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

Pea ʻe tatau ia mo e ʻakau kuo tō ki he veʻe vaitafe, ʻaia ʻoku ʻomi hono fua ʻi hono faʻahitaʻu; pea ko hono lau foki ʻe ʻikai mae; pea ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ne fai ʻe monūʻia.

4 The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

‌ʻOku ʻikai pehē ʻae angakovi: ka ʻoku tatau ia mo e kafukafu ʻaia ʻoku vilingia, ʻi he matangi.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor people who sin ·intentionally miss the mark goal· in the congregation of the upright.

Ko ia ʻe ʻikai tuʻu ʻae angakovi ʻi he fakamaau, pe ko e angahala ʻi he fakataha ʻoe māʻoniʻoni.

6 For Adonai knows the way of the upright, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

He ʻoku ʻilo ʻe Sihova ʻae hala ʻoe māʻoniʻoni: ka ko e hala ʻoe angakovi ʻe ʻauha ia.
