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 are those who do not follow the counsel of the wicked, not halting in ways frequented by sinners, nor taking a seat in a gathering of scoffers.

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

But the law of the Lord is their joy, they study it 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.

They are like trees planted by runlets of water, yielding fruit in due season, leaves never fading. In all that they do, they prosper.

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

Not so fare the wicked, not so; like chaff are they, blown by the wind.

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

So the wicked will not stand firm in the judgment, nor sinners appear, when the righteous are gathered.

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

For the way of the righteous is dear to the Lord, but the way of the wicked will end in ruin.
