Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

Akaropafadzwa munhu asingafambi panorangana vakaipa, asingamiri panzira yavatadzi, asingagari pachigaro chavadadi.

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Asi anofarira murayiro waJehovha, uye anofungisisa murayiro wake masikati nousiku.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also doth not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Akafanana nomuti wakasimwa pahova dzemvura, unobereka michero yawo nenguva yawo, uye mashizha awo haasvavi. Chinhu chipi nechipi chaanoita chinoendeka.

4 The wicked are not so; but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Vakaipa havana kudaro! Vakafanana nehundi inopepereswa nemhepo.

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

Naizvozvo vakaipa havangamiri pakutongwa, kana vatadzi paungano yavakarurama.

6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the wicked shall perish.

Nokuti Jehovha anotarira nzira yavakarurama, asi nzira yavakaipa ichaparadzwa.
