Sabuurradii 1

1 Waxaa barakaysan ninkii aan ku socon talada kuwa sharka leh, Oo aan istaagin jidka dembilayaasha, Oo aan ku fadhiisan kursiga kuwa wax quudhsada.

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 Laakiinse waxaa isaga ka farxiya sharciga Rabbiga, Oo habeen iyo maalinba sharcigiisuu ka fikiraa.

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

3 Oo wuxuu ahaan doonaa sida geed lagu beeray durdurrada biyaha agtooda, Oo midhihiisa dhala xilligooda, Oo aan caleentiisuna engegin. Oo wax alla wuxuu sameeyoba wuu ku liibaani doonaa.

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 Laakiinse kuwa sharka lahu sidaas ma aha, Iyaguse waxay la mid yihiin buunshaha dabayshu kaxayso.

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

5 Sidaas daraaddeed kuwa sharka lahu isma dhex taagi doonaan xukunka, Dembilayaashuna sooma dhex geli doonaan kuwa xaqa ah ururkooda.

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

6 Waayo, Rabbigu waa yaqaan kuwa xaqa ah jidkooda, Laakiinse kuwa sharka ah jidkoodu waa baabbi'i doonaa.

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