AIRELINDE MINYA
Translation of Psalm I by Petri Tikka

1 Mána i quén

ar tiesse úcarindoron lá tyule,
ar maresse ion yaitar lá mare,
2 mal írerya sanyesse Eruo nauva,
ar sanyeryasse auresse ar lómisse sanuva.
3 Nauvas ve alda
empanyaina ara celmar nenwe,
i antuva yáverya lúmeryasse,
ar lasserya lá queluva,
ar ilqua i caruvas alya nauva.
4 Lá sie ulcar nauvar,
mal ve ospor i súre hortuva.
5 Ulcar lá ortuvar manaresse,
úcarindor hostalesse failaron.
6 An Eru ista tie failaron,
mal tie ulcaron mistuva.

PSALM I

1 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 the scornful.
2 But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD;
and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And 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.
4 The ungodly [are] not so:
but [are] like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous:
but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
