< Dagiti Salmo 1 >
1 Nagasat ti tao a saan a magna iti pammagbaga dagiti nadangkes, wenno agtakder iti dalan dagiti managbasol, wenno agtugaw iti taripnong dagiti manglalais.
BOOK FIRST: Happy is the man who walketh not in the council of the wicked, and standeth not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the seat of scorners;
2 Ngem ti ragsakna ket adda iti linteg ni Yahweh, ken ut-utobenna ti linteg ni Yahweh iti aldaw ken rabii.
But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who doth meditate in his law by day and night.
3 Maiyarig isuna iti maysa a kayo a naimula iti igid dagiti waig nga agbunga iti tiempona, a saan a malaylay dagiti bulongna; agballigi ti aniaman nga aramidenna.
And he shall be like a tree planted by rivulets of water, that yieldeth its fruit in its season, and the leaf of which doth not wither; and all that he may do shall prosper.
4 Saan a kasta dagiti nadangkes, ngem kasla ketdi iti taep nga itayab ti angin.
Not so the wicked; but they are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Isu a saanto a makatakder dagiti nadangkes iti panangukom, wenno dagiti managbasol iti taripnong dagiti nalinteg.
Therefore shall the wicked not be able to stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 Ta anamungan ni Yahweh ti dalan dagiti nalinteg, ngem mapukawto ti dalan dagiti nadangkes.
For the Lord regardeth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked leadeth to perdition.
