Sòm 1

1 Ala bon sa bon pou moun ki pa koute konsèy mechan yo, ki pa swiv egzanp moun k'ap fè sa ki mal, ki pa chita ansanm ak moun k'ap pase Bondye nan betiz,

blessed [the] man which not to go: walk in/on/with counsel wicked and in/on/with way: conduct sinner not to stand: stand and in/on/with seat to mock not to dwell

2 men ki pran tout plezi l' nan lalwa Seyè a, k'ap repase l' nan tèt li lajounen kou lannwit.

that if: except if: except in/on/with instruction LORD pleasure his and in/on/with instruction his to mutter by day and night

3 Li tankou yon pyebwa yo plante bò kannal dlo: Li donnen lè sezon l' rive. Fèy li p'ap janm fennen. Tou sa l' fè soti byen.

and to be like/as tree to transplant upon stream water which fruit his to give: give in/on/with time his and leaf his not to wither and all which to make: do to prosper

4 Men, se p'ap menm bagay pou mechan yo. Yo tankou pay van an ap gaye.

not so [the] wicked that if: except if: except like/as chaff which to drive him spirit: breath

5 Se poutèt sa, jou jijman an, mechan yo p'ap ka leve tèt yo devan Bondye, moun ki fè mal yo p'ap chita ansanm ak moun ki fè byen yo.

upon so not to arise: establish wicked in/on/with justice: judgement and sinner in/on/with congregation righteous

6 Paske, Seyè a konnen jan moun ki fè byen yo ap viv. Men, jan mechan yo ap viv la, yo gen pou yo fini mal.

for to know LORD way: journey righteous and way: journey wicked to perish
