Psalms 1

1 [God] is pleased with those who do not do what [MET] wicked people advise them to do, and who do not imitate the behavior of [MET] sinful people, and who do not join in with people who (ridicule/sneer at) [God].

Nagasat ti tao a saan a magna iti pammagbaga dagiti nadangkes, wenno agtakder iti dalan dagiti managbasol, wenno agtugaw iti taripnong dagiti manglalais.

2 Those whom God is pleased with delight in doing the things that he has instructed/taught us to do. They read and think about Yahweh’s requirements, day and night.

Ngem ti ragsakna ket adda iti linteg ni Yahweh, ken ut-utobenna ti linteg ni Yahweh iti aldaw ken rabii.

3 They [constantly produce/do things that please God] just like fruit trees that have been planted along the banks of a stream produce fruit at the right time every year. [Like] trees that never wither, they succeed in everything that they do.

Maiyarig isuna iti maysa a kayo a naimula iti igid dagiti waig nga agbunga iti tiempona, a saan a malaylay dagiti bulongna; agballigi ti aniaman nga aramidenna.

4 But wicked people are not like that! Wicked people are [as worthless as] chaff that is blown away by the wind.

Saan a kasta dagiti nadangkes, ngem kasla ketdi iti taep nga itayab ti angin.

5 Therefore, wicked people (will not be acquitted/will be condemned) [LIT] when [God] judges people, and furthermore, sinful people will not even be present when [God] gathers righteous people together,

Isu a saanto a makatakder dagiti nadangkes iti panangukom, wenno dagiti managbasol iti taripnong dagiti nalinteg.

6 because he guides and protects righteous people, but the path that the wicked walk on leads them to where they will be destroyed/punished [by God forever].

Ta anamungan ni Yahweh ti dalan dagiti nalinteg, ngem mapukawto ti dalan dagiti nadangkes.
