Psalms 1

1 Blessid is the man, that yede not in the councel of wickid men; and stood not in the weie of synneris, and sat not in the chaier of pestilence.

Amebarikiwa mtu yule asiye enenda katika ushauri wa waovu, au kusimama katika njia ya wenye dhambi, au kukaa katika kusanyiko la wenye mizaha.

2 But his wille is in the lawe of the Lord; and he schal bithenke in the lawe of hym dai and nyyt.

Bali yeye huifurahia sheria ya Yahwe, na huitafakari sheria yake mchana na usiku.

3 And he schal be as a tree, which is plauntid bisidis the rennyngis of watris; which tre schal yyue his fruyt in his tyme. And his leef schal not falle doun; and alle thingis which euere he schal do schulen haue prosperite.

Atakuwa kama mti uliopandwa karibu na mkondo wa maji ambao huzaa matunda yake kwa majira yake, ambao majani yake hayakauki; lolote afanyalo litafanikiwa.

4 Not so wickid men, not so; but thei ben as dust, which the wynd castith awei fro the face of erthe.

Waovu hawako hivyo, wao badala yake ni kama makapi yapeperushwayo na upepo.

5 Therfor wickid men risen not ayen in doom; nethir synneres in the councel of iust men.

Kwa hivyo waovu hawatasimama katika hukumu, wala wenye dhambi katika kusanyiko la wenye haki.

6 For the Lord knowith the weie of iust men; and the weie of wickid men schal perische.

Kwa kuwa Yahweh huikubali njia ya wenye haki, njia ya waovu itaangamizwa.
