Psalmowo 1

1 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,

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers,

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

but his delight is in the law of Jehovah, and on his law he meditates day and night.

3 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.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. And whatever he does shall prosper.

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

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

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

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

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

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