Psalms 1

1 [God] is pleased with those who do not do what [MET] wicked people advise them to do, and who do not imitate the behavior of [MET] sinful people, and who do not join in with people who (ridicule/sneer at) [God].

Thlak che a cuihnaak awh amak cet man, thlak thawlhkhqi a ceh lam awh amak dyi man, huhsit qaihsaikhqi ang ngawihnaak awh amak ngawi man thlang taw a zoseen hy.

2 Those whom God is pleased with delight in doing the things that he has instructed/taught us to do. They read and think about Yahweh’s requirements, day and night.

A awmhlynaak taw Bawipa a cawngpyinaak awi awh awm nawh, ce cawngpyinaak awi ce than dai poek poepa hy.

3 They [constantly produce/do things that please God] just like fruit trees that have been planted along the banks of a stream produce fruit at the right time every year. [Like] trees that never wither, they succeed in everything that they do.

Anih taw tui keng awhkaw thing ling, qah tym awh ak qah, a hah amak reu man ing lo qu nawh, a ik-oeih sainaak a hoei awh laang poepa hy.

4 But wicked people are not like that! Wicked people are [as worthless as] chaff that is blown away by the wind.

Thlak chekhqi taw cemyihna am awm kawm uh! A mingmih taw canghi zilh ing a zawn amyihna ni ami awm.

5 Therefore, wicked people (will not be acquitted/will be condemned) [LIT] when [God] judges people, and furthermore, sinful people will not even be present when [God] gathers righteous people together,

Cedawngawh thlak chekhqi taw awidengnaak awh am dyi thai kawm u saw, thlak thawlhkhqi awm thlakdyngkhqi ang cunnaak awh am dyi thai ti kawm uh.

6 because he guides and protects righteous people, but the path that the wicked walk on leads them to where they will be destroyed/punished [by God forever].

Bawipa ing thlakdyngkhqi a lam ce sim hy, cehlai thlak chekhqi a lam taw plawci kaw.
