< 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.
Nyasaye gwedho ngʼat ma ok lu pach joma richo, kata luwo yor joricho kata bedo e kom jojaro.
2 But his wille is in the lawe of the Lord; and he schal bithenke in the lawe of hym dai and nyyt.
To chik Jehova Nyasaye ema more, kendo osiko oparo kuom chikene odiechiengʼ gotieno.
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.
Ochalo gi yien mopidhi e bath aora, manyago olembe e kinde molemo chieke, kendo ma bedene ok ner. Gimoro amora motimo dhi maber.
4 Not so wickid men, not so; but thei ben as dust, which the wynd castith awei fro the face of erthe.
Joma timbegi richo to ok chal kamano kata matin! Gin gichalo gi mihudhi, ma yamo tero.
5 Therfor wickid men risen not ayen in doom; nethir synneres in the councel of iust men.
Kuom mano joma timbegi richo ok nolo bura, adier, joricho ok nobedi e kanyakla mar joma kare,
6 For the Lord knowith the weie of iust men; and the weie of wickid men schal perische.
nikech Jehova Nyasaye rango yor joma kare, to yor joma richo to biro kethore.
