< 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.
Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence.
2 A el engankin ma sap lun LEUM GOD, Ac el nunku kac ke len ac fong.
But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate 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 which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.
4 Mwet koluk elos tia ouinge, A elos oana kulun wheat ma eng uh okla.
Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.
5 Ke ma inge mwet koluk elos ac fah tia tu in nununku Ku mwet sutuu in walil lun mwet suwoswos.
Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council of the just.
6 Tuh LEUM GOD El etu inkanek lun mwet suwoswos, A inkanek lun mwet koluk fah wanginla.
For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish.
