BOOK ONE
(Psalms 1–41)
True Happiness
1 Happy are those
who reject the advice of evil people,
who do not follow the example of sinners
or join those who have no use for God.
2 Instead, they find joy in obeying the Law of the Lord,
and they study it day and night.
3 They are like trees that grow beside a stream,
that bear fruit at the right time,
and whose leaves do not dry up.
They succeed in everything they do.
4 But evil people are not like this at all;
they are like straw that the wind blows away.
5 Sinners will be condemned by God
and kept apart from God's own people.
6 The righteous are guided and protected by the Lord,
but the evil are on the way to their doom.

Riyä Endaro
1 Ànya se gayi taäyi lidri koziro robe zo,
se so kote taoye takozi'bai ro vo iyi
ago dro'beru kote ànya se kabe Lu ugu iyi yibe ni riyä be.
2 Oko ànya a'doyite riyä ro Ota OPI ro oro voya,
ago ànya usuyi tavo ota ndaro rote kitu si ago ŋgäkyi si.
3 Ànya labayi oso ice se kabe omba golo kala ronye,
se wayi doŋgo te tu ŋgyena si,
ago kyibi nai wi kote.
Ŋgase cini ànya kabe oyena a'do ṛo kadoro.
4 Oko lidri kozi labayi kote oso inye alona;
ànya laba oso turu se oli kabe onjana lozo ronye.
5 Ta'do ta takozi'bai unina ko edrene vure Lu ro mile
ca rudro'bene lowa taŋgye'bai robe.
6 Tana OPI kani taŋgye'bai lepe,
oko lidri kozi ezarunayi 'da.
