< Psalms 1 >

1 Ìbùkún ni fún ọkùnrin náà, tí kò rìn ní ìmọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn búburú, ti kò dúró ní ọ̀nà àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀, tàbí tí kò sì jókòó ní ibùjókòó àwọn ẹlẹ́gàn.
Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence.
2 Ṣùgbọ́n ayọ̀ inú rẹ̀ wà nínú òfin Olúwa àti nínú òfin rẹ̀ ni ó ń ṣe àṣàrò ní ọ̀sán àti òru.
But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night.
3 Ó dàbí igi tí a gbìn sí etí odò tí ń sàn, tí ń so èso rẹ̀ jáde ní àkókò rẹ̀ tí ewé rẹ̀ kì yóò rẹ̀. Ohunkóhun tí ó dáwọ́lé, ni yóò máa yọrí sí rere.
And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.
4 Kò le rí bẹ́ẹ̀ fún àwọn ènìyàn búburú! Wọn yóò dàbí ìyàngbò ọkà tí afẹ́fẹ́ ń fẹ́ dànù.
Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.
5 Nítorí náà àwọn ènìyàn búburú kì yóò le è dìde dúró ní ìdájọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ kì yóò le è dúró ní àwùjọ àwọn olódodo.
Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council of the just.
6 Nítorí Olúwa ń ṣọ́ ọ̀nà àwọn olódodo, ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀nà àwọn ènìyàn búburú ni yóò ṣègbé.
For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish.
