< 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.
Akaropafadzwa munhu asingafambi panorangana vakaipa, asingamiri panzira yavatadzi, asingagari pachigaro chavadadi.
2 That except [is] in [the] law of Yahweh delight his and in law his he meditates by day and night.
Asi anofarira murayiro waJehovha, uye anofungisisa murayiro wake masikati nousiku.
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.
Akafanana nomuti wakasimwa pahova dzemvura, unobereka michero yawo nenguva yawo, uye mashizha awo haasvavi. Chinhu chipi nechipi chaanoita chinoendeka.
4 Not [are] so the wicked [people] that except [they are] like the chaff which it drives about it wind.
Vakaipa havana kudaro! Vakafanana nehundi inopepereswa nemhepo.
5 There-fore - not they will stand wicked [people] in the judgment and sinners in [the] congregation of righteous [people].
Naizvozvo vakaipa havangamiri pakutongwa, kana vatadzi paungano yavakarurama.
6 For [is] knowing Yahweh [the] way of righteous [people] and [the] way of wicked [people] it will perish.
Nokuti Jehovha anotarira nzira yavakarurama, asi nzira yavakaipa ichaparadzwa.
