Saam 1

1 Katoeng ai kaminawk ih thuitaekhaih thungah caeh ai, kazae kaminawk ih loklam ah doeh angdoe ai moe, pahnuithuih kaminawk anghnuthaih ahmuen ah anghnu ai kami,

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the advice of the wicked, or stand in the pathway with sinners, or sit in the assembly of mockers.

2 Angraeng mah paek ih lok pongah anghoehaih tawn kami, Angraeng mah paek ih lok khoving khodai poek toepsoep kami loe tahamhoih.

But his delight is in the law of Yahweh, and on his law he meditates day and night.

3 Anih loe tuipuinawk taengah thling moe, atue phak naah athai, aqam zaek vai ai thing hoiah anghmong; to kami loe a sak ih hmuen boih ah hmacawn tih.

He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaves do not wither; whatever he does will prosper.

4 Katoeng ai kaminawk loe to tiah om o ai; nihcae loe takhi mah hmuh phaeng ih canghii baktiah ni oh o.

The wicked are not so, but are instead like the chaff that the wind drives away.

5 To pongah katoeng ai kaminawk loe lokcaekhaih ahmuen ah angdoe o thai mak ai, kazae kaminawk doeh katoeng kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah athum o thai mak ai.

So the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 Angraeng loe katoeng kaminawk ih loklam to panoek; katoeng ai kaminawk ih loklam loe amro tih.

For Yahweh approves of the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
