Sòm 1

1 Ala bon sa bon pou moun ki pa koute konsèy mechan yo, ki pa swiv egzanp moun k'ap fè sa ki mal, ki pa chita ansanm ak moun k'ap pase Bondye nan betiz,

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 men ki pran tout plezi l' nan lalwa Seyè a, k'ap repase l' nan tèt li lajounen kou lannwit.

But his delight is in Jehovah's law, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 Li tankou yon pyebwa yo plante bò kannal dlo: Li donnen lè sezon l' rive. Fèy li p'ap janm fennen. Tou sa l' fè soti byen.

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 Men, se p'ap menm bagay pou mechan yo. Yo tankou pay van an ap gaye.

The wicked are not so; but are as the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Se poutèt sa, jou jijman an, mechan yo p'ap ka leve tèt yo devan Bondye, moun ki fè mal yo p'ap chita ansanm ak moun ki fè byen yo.

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

6 Paske, Seyè a konnen jan moun ki fè byen yo ap viv. Men, jan mechan yo ap viv la, yo gen pou yo fini mal.

For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
