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;

Nhyira ne onipa a ontie amumɔyɛfo afotu na onni nnebɔneyɛfo nhwɛso akyi na ɔntena fɛwdifo tenabea.

2 But, in the law of Yahweh, is his delight, —and, in his law, doth he talk with himself day and night.

Na mmom, Awurade mmara sɔ nʼani, na osusuw ho awia ne anadwo.

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.

Ɔte sɛ dua a wɔatɛw wɔ asuten ho, na ɛsow nʼaba ne bere mu a nʼahaban no nguan da. Nea ɔyɛ biara yɛ yiye.

4 Not so, the lawless, —but as chaff which is driven about by the wind:

Nanso nnebɔneyɛfo nte saa; wɔte sɛ ntɛtɛ a mframa bɔ gu.

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

Enti amumɔyɛfo rentumi nnyina atemmu no ano, na nnebɔneyɛfo nso rentena atreneefo asafo mu.

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

Efisɛ Awurade kyerɛ ɔtreneeni kwan nanso amumɔyɛfo kwan de, ɛbɛyera.
