Psalms 1

1 How happy the man, who hath not walked in the counsel of the lawless, —and, in the way of sinners, hath not stood, and, in the seat of scoffers, hath not sat;

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, in the law of Yahweh, is his delight, —and, in his law, doth he talk with himself 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 So doth he become like a tree planted by streams of waters, —that yieldeth, its fruit, in its season, whose leaf, also doth not wither, and, whatsoever he doeth, prospereth.

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 lawless, —but as chaff which is driven about by the wind:

Aole hoi e like me neia ka poe aia; Aka, ua like ia me ka opala i puehu i ka makani.

5 For this cause, shall the lawless not stand in the judgment, —nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

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 Yahweh doth acknowledge the way of the righteous; but, the way of the lawless, shall vanish.

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.
