1 W axaa barakaysan ninkii aan ku socon talada kuwa sharka leh, Oo aan istaagin jidka dembilayaasha, Oo aan ku fadhiisan kursiga kuwa wax quudhsada.

Blessed (happy, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down where the scornful gather.

2 L aakiinse waxaa isaga ka farxiya sharciga Rabbiga, Oo habeen iyo maalinba sharcigiisuu ka fikiraa.

But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night.

3 O o wuxuu ahaan doonaa sida geed lagu beeray durdurrada biyaha agtooda, Oo midhihiisa dhala xilligooda, Oo aan caleentiisuna engegin. Oo wax alla wuxuu sameeyoba wuu ku liibaani doonaa.

And he shall be like a tree firmly planted by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper.

4 L aakiinse kuwa sharka lahu sidaas ma aha, Iyaguse waxay la mid yihiin buunshaha dabayshu kaxayso.

Not so the wicked. But they are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

5 S idaas daraaddeed kuwa sharka lahu isma dhex taagi doonaan xukunka, Dembilayaashuna sooma dhex geli doonaan kuwa xaqa ah ururkooda.

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

6 W aayo, Rabbigu waa yaqaan kuwa xaqa ah jidkooda, Laakiinse kuwa sharka ah jidkoodu waa baabbi'i doonaa.

For the Lord knows and is fully acquainted with the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish (end in ruin and come to nought).
