Psalms 1

1 How happy the man, who hath not walked in the counsel of the lawless, —and, in the way of sinners, hath not stood, and, in the seat of scoffers, hath not sat;

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

2 But, in the law of Yahweh, is his delight, —and, in his law, doth he talk with himself day and night.

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

3 So doth he become like a tree planted by streams of waters, —that yieldeth, its fruit, in its season, whose leaf, also doth not wither, and, whatsoever he doeth, prospereth.

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.

4 Not so, the lawless, —but as chaff which is driven about by the wind:

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

5 For this cause, shall the lawless not stand in the judgment, —nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

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

6 For Yahweh doth acknowledge the way of the righteous; but, the way of the lawless, shall vanish.

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