Thaburi 1

1 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũtatwaranaga na ũtaaro wa andũ arĩa aaganu, kana akarũgama njĩra-inĩ ya andũ arĩa mehagia, o na kana agaikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa arĩa manyũrũranagia.

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 No rĩrĩ, nĩ watho wa Jehova akenagĩra, na agecũũranagia ũhoro wa watho wake kũrĩ mũthenya kana ũtukũ.

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

3 Mũndũ ũcio ahaana ta mũtĩ mũhaande tũmĩtaro-inĩ twa maaĩ, naguo ũciaraga maciaro maguo hĩndĩ ya mo yakinya, namo mathangũ maguo matihoohaga. Na rĩrĩ, ũndũ o wothe ekaga nĩũgaacagĩra.

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 No andũ arĩa aaganu matihaana ũguo! Mahaana ta mũũngũ ũrĩa ũmbũragwo nĩ rũhuho.

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

5 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ arĩa aaganu matigetiiria ciira-inĩ, kana andũ arĩa ehia metiirie kĩũngano-inĩ kĩa andũ arĩa athingu.

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

6 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩamenyagĩrĩra njĩra ya andũ arĩa athingu, no andũ arĩa aaganu marĩ njĩra-inĩ ya kũũra.

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