Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

Akaropafadzwa munhu asingafambi panorangana vakaipa, asingamiri panzira yavatadzi, asingagari pachigaro chavadadi.

2 but his delight is in the LORD’s law. On his law he meditates day and night.

Asi anofarira murayiro waJehovha, uye anofungisisa murayiro wake masikati nousiku.

3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

Akafanana nomuti wakasimwa pahova dzemvura, unobereka michero yawo nenguva yawo, uye mashizha awo haasvavi. Chinhu chipi nechipi chaanoita chinoendeka.

4 The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

Vakaipa havana kudaro! Vakafanana nehundi inopepereswa nemhepo.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgement, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

Naizvozvo vakaipa havangamiri pakutongwa, kana vatadzi paungano yavakarurama.

6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

Nokuti Jehovha anotarira nzira yavakarurama, asi nzira yavakaipa ichaparadzwa.
