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 that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

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 Yhwh; and in his law doth he meditate 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.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

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

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

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

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

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

For Yhwh knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
