Zaburi 1

1 Heri mtu yule ambaye haendi katika shauri la watu waovu, wala hasimami katika njia ya wenye dhambi, au kuketi katika baraza la wenye mizaha.

blessed [the] man which not to go: walk in/on/with counsel wicked and in/on/with way: conduct sinner not to stand: stand and in/on/with seat to mock not to dwell

2 Bali huifurahia sheria ya Bwana, naye huitafakari hiyo sheria usiku na mchana.

that if: except if: except in/on/with instruction LORD pleasure his and in/on/with instruction his to mutter by day and night

3 Mtu huyo ni kama mti uliopandwa kando ya vijito vya maji, ambao huzaa matunda kwa majira yake na majani yake hayanyauki. Lolote afanyalo hufanikiwa.

and to be like/as tree to transplant upon stream water which fruit his to give: give in/on/with time his and leaf his not to wither and all which to make: do to prosper

4 Sivyo walivyo waovu! Wao ni kama makapi yapeperushwayo na upepo.

not so [the] wicked that if: except if: except like/as chaff which to drive him spirit: breath

5 Kwa hiyo waovu hawatastahimili hukumu, wala wenye dhambi katika kusanyiko la wenye haki.

upon so not to arise: establish wicked in/on/with justice: judgement and sinner in/on/with congregation righteous

6 Kwa maana Bwana huziangalia njia za mwenye haki, bali njia ya waovu itaangamia.

for to know LORD way: journey righteous and way: journey wicked to perish
