Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

Nhyira ne onipa a ɔntie amumuyɛfoɔ afotuo na ɔnni nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nhwɛsoɔ akyi na ɔntena fɛdifoɔ tenabea.

2 but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night.

Na mmom, Awurade mmara sɔ nʼani, na ɔdwene ho awia ne anadwo.

3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

Ɔte sɛ dua a wɔatɛ wɔ asutene ho, na ɛso nʼaba ne berɛ mu a nʼahahan no nnwan. Deɛ ɔyɛ biara yɛ yie.

4 The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

Nanso nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nte saa; wɔte sɛ ntɛtɛ a mframa bɔ guo.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

Enti amumuyɛfoɔ rentumi nnyina atemmuo no ano, na nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nso rentena teneneefoɔ asafo mu.

6 For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

Ɛfiri sɛ Awurade kyerɛ ɔteneneeni kwan nanso amumuyɛfoɔ kwan deɛ, ɛbɛyera.
