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;

Namni gorsa hamootaatiin hin deddeebine, yookaan karaa cubbamootaa irra hin dhaabanne, yookaan barcuma qoostotaa irra hin teenye, eebbifamaa dha.

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

Garuu inni seera Waaqayyootti gammada; seera isaas halkanii guyyaa irra deddeebiʼee itti yaada.

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.

Inni akkuma muka qarqara bishaan yaaʼuu dhaabamee yeroo isaatti ija isaa kennu, kan baalli isaas hin coollagnee ti; wanni inni hojjetu hundinuus ni tolaaf.

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

Hamoonni garuu akkana miti; isaan akka habaqii qilleensi fudhatee balleessuu ti.

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

Kanaafuu hamoonni murtii dura, yookaan cubbamoonni waldaa qajeeltotaa keessa hin dhaabatan.

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

Waaqayyo karaa qajeeltotaa ni beekaatii; karaan hamootaa garuu gara badiitti geessa.
