1Blessed 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 the scornful.
1Akakomborerwa munhu asingafambi panorangana vakaipa, Asingamiri panzira yavatadzi, Asingagari panogara vadadi.
2But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
2Asi anofarira murayiro waJehovha; Anofungisisa murayiro wake masikati nousiku.
3And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
3Achafanana nomuti wakasimwa pahova dzemvura, Unobereka michero yawo nenguva yawo, Shizha rawo harisvavi; Chinhu chipi nechipi chaanoita chichaendika.
4The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
4Vakaipa havana kudaro; Asi vakafanana nehundi inopepereswa nemhepo.
5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
5Naizvozvo vakaipa havangamiri pakutongeswa, Navatadzi paungano yavakarurama.
6For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
6nekuti Jehovha anoziva nzira yavakarurama; Asi nzira yavakaipa ichaparadzwa.
