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.

Happy is the man who does not go in the company of sinners, or take his place in the way of evil-doers, or in the seat of those who do not give honour to the Lord.

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

But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and whose mind is on his law 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.

He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, which gives its fruit at the right time, whose leaves will ever be green; and he will do well in all his undertakings.

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

The evil-doers are not so; but are like the dust from the grain, which the wind takes away.

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

For this cause there will be no mercy for sinners when they are judged, and the evil-doers will have no place among the upright,

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

Because the Lord sees the way of the upright, but the end of the sinner is destruction.
