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;

Woayra ame si mezɔna ɖe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe aɖaŋuɖoɖo nu alo nɔa tsitre ɖe nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo ƒe mɔ dzi loo alo nɔa anyi ɖe fewuɖulawo dome o,

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

ke boŋ ekpɔa dzidzɔ le Yehowa ƒe se la ŋu, eye wòdea ŋugble le eŋu zã kple keli.

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.

Eya amea ɖi ati si wodo ɖe tɔʋuwo to, esi tsea ku le etseɣi, melũa xe o, eye nu sia nu si wòwɔna la, edzea edzi nyuie.

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

Mele alea na ame vɔ̃ɖi ya o! Wole abe blitsro si ya ƒona dzonae la ene.

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

Eya ta ame vɔ̃ɖi manɔ te le ʋɔnudrɔ̃gbe, alo nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo nanɔ ame dzɔdzɔewo ƒe ha me o.

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

Elabena Yehowa kpɔa ame dzɔdzɔewo ƒe mɔ ta, ke ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe mɔ atsrɔ̃ gbidii.
