Psalm 1

1 Insewowo mwet se su Tia fufahsryesr in pwapa lun mwet koluk, Ku ukwe inkanek lun mwet sutuu, Ku muta inmasrlon mwet su aksruksrukye God.

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 A el engankin ma sap lun LEUM GOD, Ac el nunku kac ke len ac fong.

But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who doth meditate in his law by day and night.

3 El ac fah oana soko sak yoki sisken infacl, Su isus fahko la in pacl la, Ac sra kac tiana paola, Ac ma nukewa el oru fah kapkapak.

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 Mwet koluk elos tia ouinge, A elos oana kulun wheat ma eng uh okla.

Not so the wicked; but they are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Ke ma inge mwet koluk elos ac fah tia tu in nununku Ku mwet sutuu in walil lun mwet suwoswos.

Therefore shall the wicked not be able to stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 Tuh LEUM GOD El etu inkanek lun mwet suwoswos, A inkanek lun mwet koluk fah wanginla.

For the Lord regardeth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked leadeth to perdition.
