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,

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or set foot on the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers.

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

But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night.

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.

He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does.

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

Not so the wicked! For they are like chaff driven off by the wind.

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

Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

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

For the LORD guards the path of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
