Psalm 1

1 MEID pai ol o, me sota alialu ni padak en me doo sang Kot akan, o me so duki ong me dipan akan, o me so mondi ren me malaun akan,

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers.

2 A me kin peren kida kapung en Ieowa o madamadaua duen a kapung ni ran o ni pong!

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 A rasong tuka pot, me padedier ni kailan pilap akan, me kin kapareda wa ni a ansau, o ta kan sota kin mongala, a karos a wiawia pwaida.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he doeth shall prosper.

4 Me doo sang Kot akan sota kin dueta, a re rasong dip me ang kin iririp sili.

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 I me doo sang Kot akan sota pan pwai kida nan kadeik, o me dipan akan nan momod en me pung kan.

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 Pwe Ieowa kotin mangi al en me pung kan; a al en ir, me doo sang Kot akan, pan soredi.

For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
