Psalm 1

1 Insewowo mwet se su Tia fufahsryesr in pwapa lun mwet koluk, Ku ukwe inkanek lun mwet sutuu, Ku muta inmasrlon mwet su aksruksrukye God.

BOOK I HAPPY IS the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seat of the scornful.

2 A el engankin ma sap lun LEUM GOD, Ac el nunku kac ke len ac fong.

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in His law doth he meditate day and night.

3 El ac fah oana soko sak yoki sisken infacl, Su isus fahko la in pacl la, Ac sra kac tiana paola, Ac ma nukewa el oru fah kapkapak.

And he shall be like a tree planted by streams of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf doth not wither; and in whatsoever he doeth he shall prosper.

4 Mwet koluk elos tia ouinge, A elos oana kulun wheat ma eng uh okla.

Not so the wicked; but they are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Ke ma inge mwet koluk elos ac fah tia tu in nununku Ku mwet sutuu in walil lun mwet suwoswos.

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

6 Tuh LEUM GOD El etu inkanek lun mwet suwoswos, A inkanek lun mwet koluk fah wanginla.

For the LORD regardeth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked shall perish.
