Sòm 1

1 Beni se nonm ki pa mache nan konsèy mechan yo ni kanpe nan pa pechè yo, ni chita nan chèz mokè yo,

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.

2 men gran plezi li se nan lalwa SENYÈ a. Sou lalwa Li, li reflechi lajounen kon lannwit.

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

3 Li va tankou yon pyebwa ki plante bò kote flèv dlo ki bay fwi li nan sezon li. Fèy li p ap janm fane, e tout sa li fè byen reyisi.

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.

4 Mechan yo pa konsa. Yo tankou pay ke van an pouse ale.

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

5 Pou sa, mechan yo p ap kanpe nan chèz jijman an, ni pechè yo nan asanble ak moun dwat yo.

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

6 Paske SENYÈ a konnen chemen a (sila) ki dwat yo, men chemen a mechan yo va disparèt.

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