Sòm 1

1 Beni se nonm ki pa mache nan konsèy mechan yo ni kanpe nan pa pechè yo, ni chita nan chèz mokè yo,

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 men gran plezi li se nan lalwa SENYÈ a. Sou lalwa Li, li reflechi lajounen kon lannwit.

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

3 Li va tankou yon pyebwa ki plante bò kote flèv dlo ki bay fwi li nan sezon li. Fèy li p ap janm fane, e tout sa li fè byen reyisi.

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 Mechan yo pa konsa. Yo tankou pay ke van an pouse ale.

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

5 Pou sa, mechan yo p ap kanpe nan chèz jijman an, ni pechè yo nan asanble ak moun dwat yo.

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

6 Paske SENYÈ a konnen chemen a (sila) ki dwat yo, men chemen a mechan yo va disparèt.

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