Psalms 1

1 How blessed! [is] the person who - not he walks in [the] counsel of wicked [people] and in [the] way of sinners not he stands and in [the] seat of mockers not he sits.

Ala bon sa bon pou moun ki pa koute konsèy mechan yo, ki pa swiv egzanp moun k'ap fè sa ki mal, ki pa chita ansanm ak moun k'ap pase Bondye nan betiz,

2 That except [is] in [the] law of Yahweh delight his and in law his he meditates by day and night.

men ki pran tout plezi l' nan lalwa Seyè a, k'ap repase l' nan tèt li lajounen kou lannwit.

3 And he is like a tree planted at streams of water which fruit its - it gives at appropriate time its and leafage its not it withers and all that he does it succeeds.

Li tankou yon pyebwa yo plante bò kannal dlo: Li donnen lè sezon l' rive. Fèy li p'ap janm fennen. Tou sa l' fè soti byen.

4 Not [are] so the wicked [people] that except [they are] like the chaff which it drives about it wind.

Men, se p'ap menm bagay pou mechan yo. Yo tankou pay van an ap gaye.

5 There-fore - not they will stand wicked [people] in the judgment and sinners in [the] congregation of righteous [people].

Se poutèt sa, jou jijman an, mechan yo p'ap ka leve tèt yo devan Bondye, moun ki fè mal yo p'ap chita ansanm ak moun ki fè byen yo.

6 For [is] knowing Yahweh [the] way of righteous [people] and [the] way of wicked [people] it will perish.

Paske, Seyè a konnen jan moun ki fè byen yo ap viv. Men, jan mechan yo ap viv la, yo gen pou yo fini mal.
