Zaburi 1

1 Amebarikiwa mtu yule asiye enenda katika ushauri wa waovu, au kusimama katika njia ya wenye dhambi, au kukaa katika kusanyiko la wenye mizaha.

How blessed! [is] the person who - not he walks in [the] counsel of wicked [people] and in [the] way of sinners not he stands and in [the] seat of mockers not he sits.

2 Bali yeye huifurahia sheria ya Yahwe, na huitafakari sheria yake mchana na usiku.

That except [is] in [the] law of Yahweh delight his and in law his he meditates by day and night.

3 Atakuwa kama mti uliopandwa karibu na mkondo wa maji ambao huzaa matunda yake kwa majira yake, ambao majani yake hayakauki; lolote afanyalo litafanikiwa.

And he is like a tree planted at streams of water which fruit its - it gives at appropriate time its and leafage its not it withers and all that he does it succeeds.

4 Waovu hawako hivyo, wao badala yake ni kama makapi yapeperushwayo na upepo.

Not [are] so the wicked [people] that except [they are] like the chaff which it drives about it wind.

5 Kwa hivyo waovu hawatasimama katika hukumu, wala wenye dhambi katika kusanyiko la wenye haki.

There-fore - not they will stand wicked [people] in the judgment and sinners in [the] congregation of righteous [people].

6 Kwa kuwa Yahweh huikubali njia ya wenye haki, njia ya waovu itaangamizwa.

For [is] knowing Yahweh [the] way of righteous [people] and [the] way of wicked [people] it will perish.
