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.

Wodala munthu amene satsatira uphungu wa anthu ochimwa, kapena kuyima mʼnjira ya anthu oyipa, kapena kukhala mʼmagulu a anthu onyoza.

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

Koma chikondwerero chake chili mʼmalamulo a Yehova ndipo mʼmalamulo akewo amalingaliramo usana ndi usiku.

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.

Iye ali ngati mtengo wodzalidwa mʼmbali mwa mitsinje ya madzi, umene umabereka zipatso zake pa nyengo yake ndipo masamba ake safota. Chilichonse chimene amachita amapindula nacho.

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

Sizitero ndi anthu oyipa! Iwo ali ngati mungu umene umawuluzidwa ndi mphepo.

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

Kotero anthu oyipa sadzatha kuyima pa chiweruzo, kapena anthu ochimwa mu msonkhano wa anthu olungama.

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

Pakuti Yehova amayangʼanira mayendedwe a anthu olungama, koma mayendedwe a anthu oyipa adzawonongeka.
