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.

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

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

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 Waovu hawako hivyo, wao badala yake 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 hivyo waovu hawatasimama katika 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 kuwa Yahweh huikubali njia ya wenye haki, njia ya waovu itaangamizwa.

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