Psalms 1

1 MEID pai ol o, me jota alialu ni padak en me doo jan Kot akan o me jo duki on me dipan akan, o me jo mondi ren me malaun akan,

“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 me kin peren kida kapun en leowa o madamadaua duen a kapun ni ran o ni pon!

But whose delight is in the law of the LORD, And who meditateth on his precepts day and night.

3 A rajon tuka pot, me padedier ni kailan pilap akan me kin kapareda wa ni a anjau, o ta kan jota kin monala, a karoj a wiawia pwaida.

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 Me doo jan Kot akan jota kin dueta, a re rajon dip me an kin iririp jili.

Not so the unrighteous; They are like chaff, which the wind driveth away.

5 I me doo jan Kot akan jota pan pwai kida nan kadeik, o me dipan akan nan momod en me pun kan.

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the just.

6 Pwe leowa kotin mani al en me pun kan; a al en ir, me doo jan Kot akan, pan joredi.

For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked leadeth to ruin.
