< 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.
O the blessedness of that one, Who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, And has not stood in the way of sinners, And has not sat in the seat of scorners;
2 A el engankin ma sap lun LEUM GOD, Ac el nunku kac ke len ac fong.
But his delight [is] in the Law of YHWH, And in His law he meditates by day and by 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 has been as a tree, Planted by streams of water, That gives its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither, And all that he does he causes to prosper.
4 Mwet koluk elos tia ouinge, A elos oana kulun wheat ma eng uh okla.
Not so the wicked: But [they are] as chaff that wind drives away!
5 Ke ma inge mwet koluk elos ac fah tia tu in nununku Ku mwet sutuu in walil lun mwet suwoswos.
Therefore the wicked do not rise in 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 YHWH is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!
