< Nnwom 1 >

1 Nhyira ne onipa a ontie amumɔyɛfo afotu na onni nnebɔneyɛfo nhwɛso akyi na ɔntena fɛwdifo tenabea.
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, and standeth not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the seat of scorners;
2 Na mmom, Awurade mmara sɔ nʼani, na osusuw ho awia ne anadwo.
But his delight is in Jehovah's law, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 Ɔte sɛ dua a wɔatɛw wɔ asuten ho, na ɛsow nʼaba ne bere mu a nʼahaban no nguan da. Nea ɔyɛ biara yɛ yiye.
And he [is] as a tree planted by brooks of water, which giveth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf fadeth not; and all that he doeth prospereth.
4 Nanso nnebɔneyɛfo nte saa; wɔte sɛ ntɛtɛ a mframa bɔ gu.
The wicked are not so; but are as the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Enti amumɔyɛfo rentumi nnyina atemmu no ano, na nnebɔneyɛfo nso rentena atreneefo asafo mu.
Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 Efisɛ Awurade kyerɛ ɔtreneeni kwan nanso amumɔyɛfo kwan de, ɛbɛyera.
For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
