< 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;
Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũtatwaranaga na ũtaaro wa andũ arĩa aaganu, kana akarũgama njĩra-inĩ ya andũ arĩa mehagia, o na kana agaikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa arĩa manyũrũranagia.
2 But, in the law of Yahweh, is his delight, —and, in his law, doth he talk with himself day and night.
No rĩrĩ, nĩ watho wa Jehova akenagĩra, na agecũũranagia ũhoro wa watho wake kũrĩ mũthenya kana ũtukũ.
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.
Mũndũ ũcio ahaana ta mũtĩ mũhaande tũmĩtaro-inĩ twa maaĩ, naguo ũciaraga maciaro maguo hĩndĩ ya mo yakinya, namo mathangũ maguo matihoohaga. Na rĩrĩ, ũndũ o wothe ekaga nĩũgaacagĩra.
4 Not so, the lawless, —but as chaff which is driven about by the wind:
No andũ arĩa aaganu matihaana ũguo! Mahaana ta mũũngũ ũrĩa ũmbũragwo nĩ rũhuho.
5 For this cause, shall the lawless not stand in the judgment, —nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ arĩa aaganu matigetiiria ciira-inĩ, kana andũ arĩa ehia metiirie kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa andũ arĩa athingu.
6 For Yahweh doth acknowledge the way of the righteous; but, the way of the lawless, shall vanish.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩamenyagĩrĩra njĩra ya andũ arĩa athingu, no andũ arĩa aaganu marĩ njĩra-inĩ ya kũũra.
