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 I” Happy the man who walketh not in the counsel of the unrighteous, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers;

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 meditateth on his precepts 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.

He is like a tree planted by streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaves also do not wither: All that he doeth shall prosper.

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

Not so the unrighteous; They are like 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 the wicked shall not stand in judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly 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 righteous, But the way of the wicked leadeth to ruin.
